USA Freedom Act Passes House, Codifying Bulk Collection, Critics Say
You can do unescaping in constant time and space using a state machine. Coroutines would be the ideal way to express this.

I've seen source code where someone was fond of using forward and backslashes in comments as a banner. Perhaps that might be related.
But it's got "freedom" in the name. It couldn't possibly be bad... You know, like the "Patriot" Act.
I don't get it. I simply see the example as an elegant way of introducing the power of the language. This kind of pedantry only drives curious people away.
Oh I see what they did. Patriot Act section 215 was up in June 1, 2015. So they did this "USA Freedom Act" a month before to extend that to 2019. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr2048/text/ih#li...

"Section 102(b)(1) of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (50 U.S.C. 1805 note) is amended by striking June 1, 2015 and inserting December 15, 2019."

So no need to fight that Patriot Act fight for another 4 years.

It is definitely time to switch to SB, HB and numbers for bills and no propagandistic naming of bills for sure so they can't get this fast track mentality. They are also pushing through TPP with strong-arming while presenting this false NSA good news as a top story.
There is a similar concept in video game design called 'game feel':
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/130734/game_feel_the_s...

It's a very subconscious thing, how we appreciate two similar things with slight changes, and often we would struggle to explain why we feel that way. It just 'feels' better.

Exactly, and who is the agent of change when your neighborhood fills up with transient tenants? Why, it's AirBnB of course. Ergo, AirBnB should be regulated.

I've said it before: cities that care about their current residents should enact 2 limits: tourist zones where year-round full-unit, full-building rentals are allowed, taxed and regulated like hotels (yes, you run a business, you pay commercial property tax, in addition to sales and nightly tax). And then in the remaining residential zones, limit homestays to 40 or 60 days, regardless of whether they are owner occupied or not, with AirBnB collecting taxes and fees for the city and reporting all nightly counts to the city. There could also be complete homestay exclusion zones, but that can also be handled by condo/neighborhood association rules.

The regulation can be tailored to local desires and needs: number of days, requiring permits or just allowing anyone to operate, and requiring owner-occupancy during visitor stays or not.

Note that nothing prevents regular residences at resident-occupied tax rates in the "commercial" zone, just that buyers in that zone know they can convert if they want, but so can their neighbors.
Considering that most AirBnB listings are themselves breaching something like a ToS, only usually a more enforceable one (such as a tenant agreement or condo deed conditions), I don't think pointing to a website terms of service being potentially violated gives much of a high ground in itself. It also seems like a pretty unlikely combination of positions: someone who takes an "ignore the rules / pro-disruption" position on illegal rentals, but is hardcore pro-enforcement when it comes to a ToS? I'd think almost everyone who agrees with the first position also takes an EFF-style anti-enforcement position on the second one.
This varies by country. In Australia if I want a gun I need to have a firearms license, I have to register every weapon I own and store them in an safe that meets certain minimum requirements (separate ammunition, requires key and combination to enter, minimum thickness, rules about how it is secured to the wall/floor, etc) and at any time the police can show up and ask me to show them I have the weapons correctly secured.

Or I could rent appropriate storage space at a gun club, store the weapons that way.

It's a completely different gun culture to what is seen in the US, and personally I like it a lot more.
morally? Seriously. Step back a little and look at it from a landlords perspective. Airbnb can facilitate lease violations and that's okay, but helping Landlords identify lease violations is morally wrong?

I'm not part of the Java world at all, but I'm starting to think that Azul Systems is one of the few groups of people who know what they're doing with regard to Linux performance and the user/kernel boundary. I recently watched some talks by Cliff Click[1] that were extremely informative, and from what I understand about their proposed kernel patches, they seem like important improvements.

This report by Gil Tene (their CTO according to Wikipedia) lends more support to that theory.

Actually, it's NOT a good one. To quote Rep. Justin Amash on USA Freedom: “H.R. 2048 actually expands the statutory basis for the large-scale collection of most data“

The way insurance works is that risky behavior leads to higher premiums. Insuring a sports car is more expensive because studies show risky driving is associated with sports cars.

Hosts that don't treat neighbors respectfully or guests safely will quickly see bonds confiscated and premiums raised until they are out of the business.

Likewise, insurers often provide discounts for good behavior like taking safety courses, a history without incidents, installing anti theft devices, etc.

And requiring insurance also gives neighbors a recourse (payouts from the policy) if the block is set on for or something (though there are already laws and regulations about that sort of thing).

Though I have never tried it myself, I know numerous people who have done AirBnB "hosting." It has enabled them to afford trips and vacations they could otherwise never afford; their tenants have always been cool people who loved the experience and left the spaces in immaculate condition (I served as the "key man" many times).

Every AirBnB experience I've witnessed has been win=win; the absurdly unbelievably filthy rich landlords can go cry in their beds stuffed with money as far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately, per Gin Tene as of a couple of years ago they've given up on that approach (getting kernel patches in): https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mechanical-sympathy/UnsLM6wh...

This is the Just-World Fallacy, as you presume there is some sort of reliable map between things being a crime and things being morally wrong. This is clearly not true, as laws change all the time.

Furthermore, there is the concept of extenuating circumstances. Killing people is usually a crime, but we generally accept self defense as a legitimate justification that requires no punishment. Regarding Snowden, in a country where oaths are taken to defend the Constitution - and not the country itself - informing the people that important parts of the Constitution are under attack or being ignored is an incredibly strong and obvious example of extenuating circumstances.

Anybody that has a problem with that really needs to focus their attention on the people that made such an extreme defense of the Constitution necessary. Yes, we need to update a lot of laws. Hopefully, we can accomplish those changes soon, before someone else is forced to make the choice between following the law and protecting the Constitution like Snowden.
I wonder if AirBnB thinks it borders on _evil_.

Sadly, HackerDojo has lost its hackerspace feel, and it's much more of a normal startup incubator.

I attended both regularly in 2011-2012, and while my group of awesome friends formed from a kernel of folks from Hackerdojo, I much preferred Noisebridge's ambiance. It had more of San Francisco's zany vibe (including, to be fair, the occasional hobo), whereas Hackerdojo took itself somewhat more seriously as a sort-of-incubator in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The fact that HD's original digs was litterally a block away from Y-combinator contributed a lot to that.

One of the last times I was in Hackerdojo was when our group of friends painted the dinosaur mural in their new space (I'm still annoyed that the person who painted to book spines messed some up. No Bugsby, that messed-up K&R cover sucks :p). Nowadays, it's basically just a coworking space for stressed 20-somethings working on their startup idea. The guy who had put the arduino-etc vending machine recently took it back out.

Note, also, that Noisebridge has also reconfigured and relaunched their space: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Reboot
Peru: Civil Society Raises Concern on Internet Transparency
He's right, and it's sad. Hacker Dojo today is a big room with bright industrial lighting in which people slave on laptops in silence. Under the new management, the lounge has been converted to a more upscale room with office cubicles for rent. Parking is now restricted to paid members during the day.

They have a shop workspace of sorts, but it's not used much any more.

The article doesn't mention TechShop at all. TechShop is still around, with three Bay Area locations. San Jose is in great shape, SF is in good shape, and the mid-peninsula location moved twice and lost members due to downtime. TechShop runs corporate team-building exercises for big companies; I've seen Google, Facebook, and Singularity University take over the space, pushing the paying members out. The big tools (laser cutters, water jets, CNC milling machines) are great, and I've used almost all of them. Not much social activity any more. There used to be Friday night events, but that died out.
This re-enforces the spying apparatus by giving them rules they otherwise made up for themselves. This bill doesn't give you any privacy.
If I had to summarize tptacek's argument it would be something along the lines of:

1) Assumption: A pardon of Snowden is only appropriate if the upsides of the leak outweigh the downsides of the leak.

2) We don't know the full downside of the leaks (since that requires knowledge of the future) [1]

3) Therefore, the potential exists for the downside of the leaks to outweigh the upside.

4) Therefore, we shouldn't offer to pardon him yet as we don't know it's appropriate.

The conclusion of the argument relates only to the decision on whether to extend a pardon to Snowden. We don't need to make a presumption of innocence or guilt when deciding to offer a pardon to someone. There is no right to a pardon, and no right to be considered for a pardon. These decisions are the prerogative of the President (for federal crimes).

Calling his argument "guilty until proven innocent" would only be a fair assessment of his argument if tptacek was advocating for punishing Snowden before a trial court and jury determine his guilt.

[1] As an aside, I don't see how this statement could ever become false — at least for time scales that would be relevant to offering relief to Snowden.
Even "past century" is an over-simplification. Inns are estimated to have existed for over 2000 years. This is a very established business model.

I like the application segmentation strategy (when you can get away with it); it reminds me of the unix philosophy but over a message bus instead of pipes.

Running things over a message bus is slightly more work than one large application, but the upshot is that it lets you experiment with new technologies and ways of doing things without betting the entire product/company on it.

I don't disagree that the situation sucks for landlords if their tenant breaches the tenancy agreement and uses Airbnb as a tool for sub-letting. This of course also places the tenant in breach of Airbnb's TOS too.

But you're now suggesting that this injustice to landlords justifies harvesting Airbnb's user's personal information and then selling it? That's morally and legally questionable any way you look at it.

Ask HN: Online resources for beginner web dev/design
My stepson (19, no college) is going to explore web development and design. He doesn't have any prior experience. I'm looking for free online resources for him to get some exposure. I was thinking html,css,jQuery on codecademy to start with, and then introducing JavaScript. What else is out there? Is there anything similar for the design side of things?
I appreciate the pointer. Reading their website, they sound great. But a sales process where you're half committing without hearing many different competing products is so foreign to me. I'm the kind of person that wants to experience the many different "flavors" of something before I can make a decision. Clearly they would not like it if I were to buy a pair with the intent of definitely returning them before 60 days - hence why they try and work with you to make the sale. If I had to work with that system, I guess the way to do it would be to concurrently order from a few different manufacturers so that I could at least keep the pair I preferred, but that still seems abusive. Maybe I just need to do more Internet research, and then get over it?

Thanks for the advice!

Why would you want to spoil your kids with luxury?
In a perfect world I agree. I feel however, that I'd be more successful with slow more correct development over fast and loose development, because the latter requires immense determination and follow-through, at all layers of the business.

The most important thing is always to make money. The most important money is the money you make this week, not the money you might make in a year, and you have weeks of potential money queued. It's equation is never right to spend a few weeks not making money so down the line you can potentially make other money at a slightly fast rate. It's definitely never the right time to do that over and over again to get the many small improvements that will make you much faster in the future.
So... be agile agile agile... but, not really.

Don't waste time trying out the latest-and-greatest cutting-edge development techniques. Except SPAs (Single Page Applications) because those (somehow) take less time to implement and are 'easier' to iterate than a traditional UI.

Don't waste time perfecting the data models. Unless you're talking about data structures (ie they're totally not a type of data model) because your data structures should be perfect from the start so as to avoid the technical debt of modifying them later.

Don't waste time enforcing the SRP (Single Responsibility Principle). Unless you're talking about 'siloing areas of concern into microservices' because splitting responsibilities (and designing custom APIs to drive them) isn't just another approach to enforcing SRPs. Designing APIs that connect your app to it's dependencies in a manner that won't change (and break things) later is easy right?

So, code, code, code fast. Don't waste time early on developing a sane architecture, except when you want to spent time developing a sane architecture early on to iterate quickly later.

Forgive the sarcasm, this isn't a troll. I'm just pointing out the blatant contradictions.

The only valuable advice I can grok from this article is. Disregard TDD, build a MVP, push it into alpha/beta ASAP, fix bugs later.

More choice within that city for all parties involved. The HOA to decide to allow or not, and those looking for places to live to find ones that match their preference.

I think this is always the main motivation of replacing one-size-fits all government policy with the ability of smaller components governments to decide on their own, for any political issue.

The mini-governments could enact policy that meets the demand of constituent groups within a small corner of the larger entity, vs being forced to follow a "majority" position mandated city-wide that does not match minority preferences.
Horrific! Is this just an exaggeration? Is this a real reflection of the environment the Bay Area offers to families in such a prospering economy?
Everything save the FSB HQ-sponsored interview was dead serious... and the snark on said FSB shout-out was why it was parenthetical.

You can't simply argue that 1 good thing outweighs an arbitrary number of bad things from your decision. Otherwise the NSA would be able to use that logic to argue for an actual policy of no limit to surveillance: "Hey, we disrupted that one plot from our decision to engage in illegal spying, so that makes it OK to scale up surveillance as much as we want, right?"

Has anyone even figured out what Snowden did with all the stuff he leaked from NSA while at Booz-Allen (i.e. the rest of stuff with the IP addresses of Chinese servers NSA was attacking, that he leaked to Chinese media)? The stuff he leaked to Greenwald was from when he worked at Dell, not Booz-Allen. Greenwald and the other journalists claim they never got the documentation that Snowden obtained while he was at Booz-Allen, Snowden claims he took nothing with him to Russia... so where is it? Where did it go?

Did he destroy it all in Hong Kong? If so why did he claim he needed to jump over to Booz-Allen to get to the "Tier 3" information in the first place, if he was never going to leak that data to anyone?

Where was he in the 11+ days between when he left Hawai'i and when he apppeared in Hong Kong?

He may not be a Russian spy but even now he has left as many questions as he's answered...
> Those complaints are entirely predictable: people buy or rent residences in buildings expecting those buildings to be inhabited by long-term residents, then some part of the building gets converted to a hotel. People aren't OK with that.

So just write in a contract "This residence can not be used as a hotel". Done, problem solved. Why on earth do we need government's involved again?
