Well, if 9/11 is any indication, commercial jets can deliver pretty destructive payloads. Avi Rubin summarized some hacks in his TED talk[0], where hackers gain complete control of vehicles. It is unwise to just spread FUD this early, however, if these systems bare any resemblance to cars (and it is likely that they have many of the same characteristics i.e digital control of key steering/speed/avionics) then it is possible someone has the information to control a fleet of missiles on American soil. Unlike 9/11, these people will not be the US government, and could be actual terrorists.

Who knows, maybe this is just a 16 year old who got accosted going through security and wanted to burn off some steam.

Android has Chromecast support since version 34. For what is worth I like Firefox's UI more, as it is more usable.
Our Facebook page has been hacked, and it’s impossible to get it back
Sorry if I don't articulate this well. I'm very much in favor of life extension and SENS but I get the perception that it's still a "fringe" science or maybe it's not perceived as well by the broader community. Can you speculate why there isn't more money and effort being directed to this research if it has so much potential?
If the "buy" button takes the user to sellers' whatever e-commerce solution then it is a win..and I dont mind giving % to a pinner. We use Shopify for our products and Shopify is also powered by Stripe.
Additionally, on many keyboards (specifically Apple keyboards), you have to hit a modifier key plus the function key. For example, you have to hit Fn + F1 to get F1 because otherwise it's the "Lower LCD Brightness" hotkey. This makes them even less useful.
Kong from Mashape perhaps?

If I read this correctly, only 1 dev can test on production at a time. How does this scale as the company grows?
I dunno about sophisticated. The presumably failed experiment with the #ColombianChemicals hoax was almost cute in its lack of direction or success[1]. It sounds like the sort of hoax Anonymous - teenagers without leadership or direction or payment - would successfully have pulled off. And the ironic thing is that even if they had the wherewithal to actually convince people, the rumour would barely have moved the needle compared with the hornets nests stirred up on a daily basis by rumours (true and false) spread by the mainstream Western press (much of which is sufficiently unprofitable for the price of influence to be affordable, incidentally[2])

If Russian propagandists are generally active in the Western media, it's difficult to view them as particularly effective: you'd have found more Western contemporaries willing to sympathise with Stalin than Putin, even during the McCarthy era, and Obama's approval ratings aren't doing too badly. I can't judge their effectiveness in Russian media, but I doubt that a particularly large proportion of the promoters of nationalism and bigotry are on Putin's payroll.... its not like their ilk is exactly nonexistent in the West.

Goebbels' message might have been more top-down and less subtle than Russia's social media spamming, but it did convince a reasonably well educated and well-to-do population that there was absolutely nothing wrong with rounding up all the Jews to deport, and convince the rest of Europe there was nothing to be particularly concerned about. That takes a little more effort than persuading Russians the West doesn't like them very much.

[2]Four mainstream British newspapers actually are owned by a wealthy Russian, though he's far too involved with Russian opposition parties to be inclined towards toning down their pretty standard critical editorial line on Russian policy
Noted upthread: there are some noncryptographic threats about revealing the identity of anonymous users, and conceivably giving people information about which devices to steal in order to impersonate that developer. (The second is mitigated a bit by stripping the comments, but is still conceivably a source of information.)

> And i would be surprised if they can connect him with bribery etc. He strikes me as that kind of person who likes power over a bag of money.

Money and power are generally fungible, and you don't have to handle a bag of money at either end to be part of a conspiracy that involves financial crimes.

The leaders of criminal conspiracies probably generally prefer power to money, with money being interesting, to the extent it is, as a means to power.
"governments and private companies" certainly do not preclude committees. Quite to the contrary, in fact.
Where traditional retailers can thrive, is in the H2H (human-to-human) market. Make traditional retail be a destination for the local community by organizing events related to their business, and make the actual business (retail) be the side affect of it. It may not be as profitable as they used to be, but they can remain relevant and even thrive.

Radioshack comes to mind, they could have reclaimed their #1 destination for hobbyists by repurposing their shops as hacker spaces.
I recommend you watch Coppola's The Conversation as well, which is what originally inspired EotS. It's far more atmospheric and psychologically tense.
The only thing left for them to do is to include Cygwin (or some equivalent) as a built-in Windows feature.

Choice of assembler CPU architecture is rather irrelevant for educational purposes. Once you know one architecture, you'll quickly pick up any other. X86 will do, it's one of the quirkiest.

Granted, there's one major quirk on ARM CPUs. Instruction predicates, conditional execution for each instruction based on flags. However it's falling out of favor, because it requires CPU flags register to have a lot of read ports. That in turn limits frequencies, instruction reordering opportunities and consumes power. ARMv8 doesn't have predicates in 64-bit mode anymore.

It's same LoaDs [1] / STores [1], SUBstract / ADD / CoMPare, MULtiply / DIVide, SHift Left / SHift Right, XOR / AND / OR / NEGate / NOT and conditional BRanching / Bcc [2] based on flags-register everywhere. On top of that, if it's anything modern, there's usually FPU, vector extensions and MMU control.

[1]: But "MOV" on x86, "MOVE" on 680x0.

[2]: JMP/Jcc on x86. "cc" is short for condition code, like "Jump Equal", "Jump Not Equal".
How did we go from the FBI flying aircraft with video cameras to license plate scanners which scan 'everyone'?

I ask because there is no mention of license plate scanners in any of the parent comments to this, or the article.

Also while I assume by everyone you mean everyone who passes through the field of view of the scanner, and not actually everyone; phrasing things in false absolutes like that does not further your point.
The spread of radioactivity depends on wind and weather patterns, which aren't constant.

The article even mentions recent heavy rainfall in the steppe which could have washed radioactive particles out of the upper atmosphere.

It's not that hard to disprove this theory with a Geiger counter, so it seems worth checking.
> I don't know how it is in most countries, but in the United States, an employee gets unemployment when they get laid off. A founder gets nothing when the company goes under.

The $350 I got a week when I was unemployed three years ago doesn't affect much of anything compared to a developer's salary. I am fortunate in that I received 2 weeks severance and was able to get a new job within about a month; but not everyone is going to find a job within a time frame that having a drastically reduced income is trivial.
Finally! PowerShell Remoting just plain sucks, at least it has for me. I've always wondered why the PowerShell developer(s?) would do something so needlessly contrived when SSH has been around for, like, twenty years or so.

This will definitely make my job easier! Or at least more convenient.
I'm interested in monophony and plainchant, i.e. songs that only have vocals and no instruments and feature only one melodic line. Recently I've watched a documentary about flamenco and discovered the term "cante primitivo", which is a form of flamenco "sine guitarra" - without a guitar accompaniment. After searching "cante primitivo" I discovered another documentary featuring a couple of artists who perform cante primitivo, but it's not the whole video I am interested in, just parts of it.

Have a look: https://youtu.be/OvYPB_1oPos?t=18m14s

So what I am going to do now is to record this piece on a Mac using QuickTime and SoundFlower, which allows me to capture any audio output. If I am lazy I'd record the entire video and later cut it into pieces with Audacity. The thing that this method is lacking is a way to keep notes about the sources, such as the address, performers' names etc.

I hope it helps (and enjoy the music :)
I found the video to be incredibly vague and aside from being flashily produced and making me hungry it really didn't enlighten me to what the product does (or claims to do).

I disliked the part about setting up Vim on servers. Do you really want to be adding all the dependencies for your editor on every server? I'm an advocate of using the netrw plugin to edit over ssh directly and avoiding logging into servers when not necessary.

vim scp://host//etc/whatever
That's for a specific firewire protocol.

Thunderbolt exposes PCIe-lanes, so you can pretty much attach any pcie-device that has drivers. If there are any drivers that do not use the IOMMU properly (just pass through everything?) then we're back to square one. And I don't think all drivers are iommu-aware.

The system should only hotplug devices/drivers with user approval.
Not dying is entirely your choice, as long as you do not consume the resources that younger generations need.

If you do not die and plan to stay on Earth, then you will have a (probably very negative) impact on other people's lives. They can choose not to accept it.
Agreed here. Installing and configuring Cygwin has traditionally been a royal pain; Microsoft offering some equivalent as an officially-supported Windows add-on (or just part of the core Windows) would be a godsend.
Author of the project here. Happy to answer any questions.
Fair. But I couldn't target my crappy roguelikes at cygwin - requires complicated third-party installs.

I ran cygwin-with-ssh heavily for a while in 2003. It was a hell of a thing to get it going. Then I had trouble getting it to work on a new computer and gave up. Shouldn't be surprised that it got good again.
This is a big step, I'd love some MOSH support too though.
Now it works for me to, I guess they fixed it in a meantime.
I don't know many sysadmins who would use Cygwin to handle remote access to production servers.

They shouldn't be doing that, though. Each public key should be tied to one identity. (You might have many keys to one identity, but not vice versa.)

Best idea I've read on HN in days. b^)
Oops, my mistake. Should have fact-checked!
It would have been fine as long as they were running it with fantasy money, like many of the other play markets out there. When you create a mechanism for people to put real money into it, though, that's like the difference between breadboarding some electronics with a battery or DC adapter, and plugging straight into the wall socket. Once you take in money, for whatever purpose, you're operating some sort of business - and the laws surrounding issues are money transmission, transacting with bitcoin vs national currencies and other topics are discussed frequently on HN.
Society has a right to ban radical life extension if we judge that the social costs outweigh the benefits. Whether that is the case is what is up for debate.
Always have that in the back of my mind =]. However I don't think that's the current trend right now. Except where special hardware is integrated to the chip, but the work isn't left to the CPU itself.

I'm not so versed in the area so I'm just blind guessing here.
I wouldn't. I think the question is pretty meaningless. The Snowden Wikipedia page says:

> Snowden has been variously called a hero,[8][9][10] a whistleblower,[11][12][13][14] a dissident,[15] a patriot,[16][17][18] and a traitor.[19][20][21][22]

so there's plenty to start from if you want something else.

How about, "The government interpretation of the Espionage Act of 1917 includes those who communicate secret information to members of the media, even when that secrecy is used to hide evidence that the government has routinely and deliberately broken the law. Should this be changed, and if so, how?"
If this is like "OS X", then it doesn't mean anything. You'll still have to pay to buy "Windows 10.1" or "Windows 10 Redstone" or whatever they will call it.

"Last version of Windows" is nothing but marketing, just like the overhyped "one Windows" idea. There isn't actually just "one" Windows 10, is there?

Most versions of Windows 10 are not even within 10% of each other in terms of differences. There's a much larger gap between them. Windows 10 IoT Core isn't actually Windows 10, just like Brillo isn't actually Android.

Employees are always taking risk; no company lasts forever, and even seemingly stable companies frequently get rid of people for reasons unrelated to performance.

If early employees feel like they should get equity, then they should ask for it on hire. That Mojang apparently found plenty of employees on a cash-only basis suggests that equity was unnecessary here.

There is a separate feeling, which is that in retrospect they feel like they deserve a share of the big money because there was big success. That's a reasonable feeling. But I think it's very different than having worked for a successful company, getting paid regularly, getting bought by a major tech company, and then saying, "Gosh, that was too risky!"

Mmh... half of a bullet in the heart can kill you also...

But we need also to take in mind that when some of those compounds vanish in fact they aren't gone, they convert in other subproducts. Uranium creates Cesium (and Iodine I think, i'm not expert on this) when decays, so the real cesium should be now 50% plus X (where X is the cesium constantly created since the accident). And Thorium, Polonium, Radium...

What happens whith uranium in the subsoil when is burned in a fire?. Is its decay increased?
Sweet, that makes sense. Thanks for answering!

Was assuming that a column rename would duplicate the column during the first migration — so that the old and new codebase would work correctly. I guess the only complication is that you need to keep track of which branches have been successfully rebased/merged to master so you can run the second cleanup migrations.

Thanks again!

You don't need a "box" for this. All major operating systems support VPN natively (to varying degrees). A box could act like a MiFi, connecting to another WiFi network and adding a VPN wrapper, but I suspect it would be a niche product.
Ukraine is no better than Russia and in some cases is even worse.
Ukraine has a serious Nazi problem.
While in Russia one oppositionist Nemstov was murdered, soon after in Ukraine as many as 8 opposition MEPs were murdered (allegedly committing suicide). The Ukrainian nationalists claimed responsibility for the murders. [1]

Recently the Ukrainian parliament has passed a law (act 2538) that forbids questioning the heroism of fascist organizations such as OUN UPA and their leader Stepan Bandera - which are responsible for massacring and ethnic cleansing 200 000 Polish women and children in the Volhynia Massacre. [2]
Stepan Bandera which also was a Nazi collaborator is commonly regarded as Ukraine's national hero by most of them.

It wouldn't be much different than, say, Cisco switches/routers, which (IIRC) also are managed over SSH but implement an atypical shell oriented around network configuration.

So yeah, most tools would need to be adapted to manage Windows. A first-party Cygwin equivalent would be a good next step to ease that particular pain point, but said pain point is much easier than, say, having to install an SSH server yourself.
So it happens the other way around. Pinterest buys Etsy. ... I can actually imagine that working.
Obviously worth it if it enables you to work - e.g., lots of people pay for lattes etc.
Woah, thanks! There's a "set winheight" counterpart that i'll be setting as well.

> As far as the Fed is concerned, any support of the illegal drug trade industry is a Felony. Selling software that is targeted at helping manage, distribute, and facilitate the marijuana industry (which is illegal federally) is against the law.

As somebody with extensive experience in building and selling regulatory compliance software to the gambling industry, I can state beyond a shadow of a doubt that your argument is bullshit. Selling software that explains what is legal and what isn't legal in any specific jurisdiction isn't illegal at all, and doesn't do anything that facilitates the breaking of the law (actually, it is quite the opposite).

> As far as Stripe is concerned, they are regulated by the Fed and cannot afford to knowingly have illegal drug market customers sending money through their network.

That isn't actually what is happening.
OS X updates are free. I have installed a few since getting my Mac.
I have an automatic, and it's neat, but I'm not sure I like it. For $70-100, it's not the cost in dollars. It's more about how much tracking data the thing uploads. I'm a bit uncomfortable with it. It feels like the business model is collect enough information that a company will buy you for the information.
>>The new approach: Reddit does research to establish what the market rate salary is for every position. When they make an offer, it’s a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. The company will negotiate over the balance of cash versus stock options, but the overall package is fixed.

I hope that Reddit provides job candidates the research data, or even better makes the data publicly available. They don't mention this on their jobs page[1], but might be a good statement to add in case some applicants missed Ellen Pao's statements in the media.

Sure. But they still stand the have the most to lose. If a company goes under, an employee loses a job. The founder loses... well... who knows. Everything they've put into it. The equity, the time, the money. All gone.

That's the whole thing. As an employee, you agreed to the terms of your hiring.

When the company I worked for was bought out, employees with 401K's were given a sizable (but hardly enormous) contribution to that as part of the owner's sale. We weren't owed that, but I did appreciate it. But it was never promised to me and I was paid for the work I did.

I lived in PA at the time, so maybe it's different in your state, but I got a lot more than $350 a week when I was on unemployment 4 years ago. It was about 1/2 of my previous wage. Considering I wasn't driving into an office every day, eating out all the time, etc., the money went pretty far. The rest of the shortfall was covered by just... not putting money into my retirement account.

And regardless, $350/wk is a lot more than the $0/wk a founder would get.
