I can't say I see him as a villain, but definitely not a hero. I hold back my judgement, because we are just too far away to know what's going on.

He did expose some pretty bad practices to the general public, but asylum in Russia afterwards? Are you kidding me? That just looks super fishy to anyone with at least an ounce of critical thought in his brain. Especially in the context of the Crimea debacle.

Expanding on your analogy, the issue is when you need to start using your free car to safely haul lots of freight across the country in a timely manner, over multiple routes all while providing sound, reliable fleet maintenance with a team of mechanics. Some auto shops will tell you that duct-taping your freight to the roof of your car is just fine, others will tell you that you cannot run a reliable network with this system.
Is this sustainable? Wouldn't they put themselves out of business pretty fast?
Thanks for elaborating.

The 'other side' are the people currently working on the negotiated-ffdhe draft (which I assume are bright people too). The draft was last updated a week ago (12 May 2015), so their considerations must be quite recent.

I'm just trying to get a sense of pros and cons. Iirc, generating own groups has its problems too. For example, the Triple Handshake attack (https://www.secure-resumption.com/) could break TLS because implementations did not properly validate DH params. Allowing only some (set of) pre-defined (known good) params would have stopped that attack.

To be clear, I'm certainly not arguing for or against using common groups. Just trying to get a complete picture. (And yes, based on current information I think too that using unique groups is the right approach.)
SR-IOV should not really make you nervous, it uses the iommu. Billing might have some issues I guess.

There are higher performance virtual network setups eg see http://www.virtualopensystems.com/en/solutions/guides/snabbs...

Container networking has overheads, the virtual network pairs and the natting is not costless at all, and most people with network intensive applications are allocating physical interfaces to containers anyway.
This is a HUGE factor. You can deploy a website customised to your needs, with almost any look and style imaginable (look at the top rated themes on themeforest for example), without a graphic designer or web developer. I do consulting work installing and setting up Wordpress websites, and I and my clients love it for this reason.

You can get themes for $40-60 that give your site the look of something that would take tens of thousands to develop from scratch.
I do not see the need to send humans to mars other than for vanity. It would be more cost effective to plan terraforming mars with robots.
You're thinking about margarine?

Yeah, most "made do" with that. It was just a combo of diet fad, holiday "traditions", and media looking for anything "controversial" to talk about...
This is subtly different. It's also not well-documented, but there have been some investigations: http://watchinga4e.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/radio-5-live-inves...

From a longer blog post: http://www.harrowell.org.uk/blog/2013/03/03/the-transition-t... - note the detail that people on "work programme" placements are not counted as unemployed. See https://welfaretales.wordpress.com/category/work-program-2/

The "sharing economy" is another factor in this. If someone signs up for e.g. Taskrabbit and does a few hours a week, they're then "self-employed" and no longer count against the unemployment statistics, they can claim tax credit (especially if they have a child, you get quite a lot) and housing benefit to cover for the fact that the 'work' pays nowhere near enough to live on.

Interesting, I am building a filter for twitter, and one of the things I want to filter OUT are actually pictures, especially instagram. Other offenders are tweets without links, tweets full of hashtags, or vanity retweets.

I'd love to have statistics about what different people use twitter for, especially those who read HN, for me it's a way to get realtime news.
If you're looking for keys to remap, these are prime candidates:

s: synonym for cl
<cr> (enter): synonym for j
_: acts like ^ when given without a count, acts like <count>jk^ when given with a count
<bs> (backspace): synonym for h
<space>: synonym for l

Doubling up operators with non-motion characters works well, too. For example, operators like 'c' or 'd' probably shouldn't be rebound, and they're often doubled ('cc', 'dd') or accept a motion ('c$', 'd}'), but combining them with another non-motion isn't valid ('dc','cs'). This makes those combinations good candidates for custom bindings. A lot of plugins like surround.vim take advantage of those combinations.

It doesn't "do" anything right. It just happens to be the oldest university in the US therefore very prestigious therefore being absurdly wealthy (like Oxford/Cambridge in UK) therefore being able to recruit the best talent thereforee being very prestigious.... and on goes the cycle.

In general, it is futile asking what extremely successful outliers "do" right. Even if they wilfully did do something right (which they don't), it would not be replicable.

> In France, that depends mostly of your shade of skin.

Well, it mostly depend if you live in a sensible district or not. It happens that mostly Arab and black people live in sensible district because they are poorer than the normal average french people. And (relative) poverty is the source of a lot of social problems.

I don't say there is no racism in France too, there is. But it is more indirect, like people trying to avoid looking at black people, or people who prefer helping the white guy instead the black one at school is another example.

I recall seeing a photo of Finns either boarding or coming off the ferry between Finland and Estland with trolleys stacked with cheap alcohol (just enough per person to get under the tax quota most likely).

This was over at /r/europe i think, so eventually someone quipped that the same alcohol would make its way to Sweden and Norway, with relevant markups for each hop.

Another on the products page: "Our mobile phone garage door opener will even send you a text message you if you forgot to close the door!".
There's this widespread misconception that there are things the police can't do to you because some text somewhere says so.

In reality, it's just a question of what they want to do, and whether they can get away with it. For example, if an officer insists on seeing your ID even if the rulebook says you don't have to show it, he can escalate until he gets his way.

A police officer can saw off your leg and feed it to some crocodiles if he wants to, and no one's looking or filming.

But of course, this misconception is central to the belief in "the rule of law", which keeps us misguidedly comfortable with the fact that there's a bunch of guys in blue costumes who can abuse you as they please, confiscate all your cash, shoot your dog, or just ruin your life on a whim.

As I understand it, NorgesGruppen (and the rest of the grocery cartel) are the largest part of the problem. They are very effective at keeping smaller actors out of the market, as evidenced by the whole Hval sjokolade thing a few months back. Of course, it doesn't help that Norwegians as a whole are incredibly stingy when it comes to spending money on food. When you measure expenditure on food as a fraction of disposable income, we're among the people in the world who spend the least, and still people complain about how expensive food is. My pet theory is cultural inertia from the 50s when spending on food was more like half of people's income.

As an aside, Q isn't all that small. They're owned by the Kavli Group, which is massive.

Currently trying to get an overview of the space.
This a good question. But this hits a very interesting point. Let us discard crappy songs for a bit. And focus on marketing and other reasons. Marketing plays an important role. Yet there are artists who cannot afford the marketing or (and this is very sad in my opinion), the produced a piece that was ahead of it's time or just didn't fit the current market trends.

These kind of services allow us to explore the full spectrum of creativity, instead of homing in on current market trends. If we do not support the outlier (or in this case leave them lying by the sidelines and ignore them), we loose a part of cultural diversity. Not everyone has the same taste, but how do you experience new things when you just follow the herd?

Coincidentally I was talking with someone about House of Cards over lunch. And whether this is correct or not, it was claimed that House of Cards was the results of machine learning and figuring out that the majority wanted Kevin Spacey and a political drama. Now if this is the future of tv, this will lead inevitably to less diversity. This would be a very sad development.

This is precisely why I think that services like this one are very important to keep us culturally diverse. (at least in the limited spectrum of songs available on spotify in this case.)

Even if participants all have perfect information, I feel like you're forgetting something fundamental to instruments, at least primary instruments. If I buy an instrument, I'm expecting returns, I don't buy primarily to speculate, but to gain returns, which can be fixed or variable. So for say a sovereign state with little credit risk, why do funds but the state's government bonds? Because there is contractual income to gain. There will always be someone wanting to sell and let go off that income, because for most people money is an utility that is accumulated to be used. On the other side, even in a perfect market, there will always be someone who has received the money from the spender, and wants to get income from that instrument.

Or is there something I'm missing?
I fear that a lot of the complaints come from people traveling abroad and not taking into account exchange rates etc while shopping.

There was a lovely European price comparison on gasoline done by a Russian news site a few years back. While it was sorted by pump price (putting Norway up top) they also included a calculation of liters pr average wage. If you sorted by that number, all of a sudden the list reversed.
Well I guess the good news is that the UK police seem pretty adamant that they don't want to be armed on normal duty.
He only had to take asylum in Russia because the US revoked his passport and prevented him from going anywhere else. Russia was never intended to be more than a stop-gap.

Considering how disgustingly subservient all of Europe has been to bend over backwards to the US (e.g. forcing the landing of a presidential plane because someone suspected it was carrying Snowden) you can't really blame him. Russia is the only country in the region that doesn't care whether the US wants him or not (and would even refuse to co-operate simply to flip them off).

Heck, I'd love to see him be granted asylum somewhere else but all of Europe would drop him like a hot potato the second the US told them to hand him over.
In theory, they can't do that here in the US either.

> Border Patrol, nevertheless, cannot pull anyone over without "reasonable suspicion" of an immigration violation or crime (reasonable suspicion is more than just a "hunch"). Similarly, Border Patrol cannot search vehicles in the 100-mile zone without a warrant or "probable cause" (a reasonable belief, based on the circumstances, that an immigration violation or crime has likely occurred).

> In practice, Border Patrol agents routinely ignore or misunderstand the limits of their legal authority in the course of individual stops, resulting in violations of the constitutional rights of innocent people. These problems are compounded by inadequate training for Border Patrol agents, a lack of oversight by CBP and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the consistent failure of CBP to hold agents accountable for abuse. Thus, although the 100-mile border zone is not literally "Constitution free," the U.S. government frequently acts like it is.

The justification is not "experience" and "statistics". The justification is that it works well. Just like the language of an email can help identifying spam, skin color can help identifying illegal immigrants. I would say that 99% of all spam I receive is written in English, whereas about 80% of my personal emails are in German. Thus, even though there is nothing wrong with that language in general, English words can be used as one factor of many to help identifying spam.

A recent article on HN made me realise that the U.S. might be on the right track for fixing this. The article was called Game Theory's Cure For Corruption Makes Us All Cops [0]. The solution is in your pocket.

Imagine a city where police commit blatant traffic violations and never ticket one another. The authorities could decrease power inequalities by developing an online system in which all citizens are able to anonymously report dangerous drivers. Anyone who received too many independent reports would be investigated – police included. This sounds almost laughably simple, and yet the model indicates that it ought to do the trick. It is, after all, essentially the same system used by many online communities.

Agree and disagree. The focus should not be on "code" but exposing them early on to problem solving:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvK0UzFNw1Q

If coding is the way to go to solve a problem then be it. If plumbing is the solution then that is what they should learn.

The key is to empower them to solve problems early on. The good news is that that can even happen in their backyard getting dirty.
Actually the article's author brings up another work by Strauss and Howe, Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584-2069, and strongly denounces it as "pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo". I'm not saying I agree with that (I haven't read that book), I'm just pointing out that the article's author doesn't hold those writers in high regard. The article does go into detail about the four archetypes before denouncing the theory.

I will say I can't deny that there are defining generational markers throughout my lifetime; if the author of the parent article is to be believed, I should be thinking and seeing the world more or less exactly the same way as my 18 year old nieces since we are in the same socioeconomic class. However, that's simply not the case; while I do connect with them on many levels (we're all into anime and retro gaming, for example), their outlook on the world was shaped by what they experienced growing up in the 00s and 10s, just as mine was growing up in the 80s and 90s. There are some things that I will never understand about their point of view on a certain topic, and vice versa. I believe this has more to do with a generational gap than anything else, no matter what the author of the parent article says about "generational mumbo jumbo", and I was born the same year as the author (1977).

I don't see how asylum in Russia was fishy.

Snowden probably doesn't like the Russian government, but he was stuck in a Russian airport with a revoked passport. Even if he had free choice, Russia is one of the few countries willing and able to withstand US pressure to extradite him. Being on trial in the US isn't an option for him because what he did may have been just, but was striclty illegal.

Russian-US relations were at a low and Russia generally likes sending little fuck-yous. Granting Snowden asylum is also good PR for Russia because they appear strong against perceived US injustice.

For both sides the choices appear completely rational without implying any foul play or hidden relations.
I can't say what he should have done. I can say what I would do if I made the choice to whistleblow. I would stay and face the trial. Make a very big fuss about it. After all, I've decided to stand up for something. Something big. If I'm going to make that sacrifice, I will go all the way. I wouldn't risk casting shadows on my selfless act by going to an overly ambitious political rival of the US. Who also happens to have significantly worse practices in the very same domain. It's like exposing corruption in the police department and then only hanging out at the mafia's restaurant. How am I supposed at look at that guy now?

That's not to say the initial act has no value. It most certainly has. But everything he says afterward I just don't value at all.

I don't think you should desert to the enemy if you're trying to fix your battalion.
