If I'm not mistaken, I would guess the only reason the FBI is involved is because it's interstate computer crime, which is their jurisdiction. I see what you mean though - if it's just a matter of someone stealing the old GM's password and using it to log in, let's not waste the taxpayer dollars.

I have recently started playing around with Ember and trying to get more serious with Vim by using it for this project.

I found this page from Joyent to be an awesome resource for setting up Vim with Node:

You're thinking of this as if it were two local amateur sports teams, which makes it seem like it's absurd for the FBI to be involved.

Instead, I would look at this as two multi-million dollar businesses engaging in corporate espionage. When seen from that angle, it is exactly the sort of thing the FBI should be involved in.

> Seems to me that he's in it exclusively for the attention. If he were into politics, he'd probably know when we'd ever beaten Japan[1].

Ignorance of basic things like that isn't exactly unheard of from people who are clearly in it for political power rather than attention for efforts outside of the political arena.

> By the way, he knows how to defeat ISIS, going so far to say his plan is "foolproof" and would defeat them "very very quickly" but he won't tell us what his strategy is

So, he's channeling Nixon and his plan to end the war in Vietnam. It seemed to work for Nixon (as an electoral strategy, not, you know, for actually ending the war within six months of coming into office), so why not?
I was curious to see how many pps our servers are handling...

We have an app server that currently handles 40K concurrent users per node. I get ~63pps only:

TX eth0: 41570 pkts/s RX eth0: 63401 pkts/s

TX eth0: 41867 pkts/s RX eth0: 63697 pkts/s

TX eth0: 41585 pkts/s RX eth0: 63187 pkts/s

TX eth0: 40408 pkts/s RX eth0: 61912 pkts/s

TX eth0: 40465 pkts/s RX eth0: 62118 pkts/s

deliver their developers $10 billion in annual revenue... Apple, which declined to comment for this story, said in January that annual revenue from its mobile apps rose 50 percent last year and helped create 627,000 U.S. jobs.

That distills down to about $15,000 per US job if the $10 billion doesn't go anywhere else in the world and before business expenses such as the $99.00 developer fee.

This is why, even as a very indie Kickstarter creator myself, I don't begrudge the big studio's use of Kickstarter this way.

I'd rather see a shift toward creators getting paid for the work they do, which they put in one way or another, and away from absolute dependence on the market for post-hoc validation. Not a 100% shift ("real artists ship"), but toward an economic model that doesn't leave creators so beholden to such narrow sources of capital as a single publisher.

I like that aspect, which is using the FBI's resources to help solve a problem. But, to me, it's fucked up that once you call the FBI, they take over, and often bring absurdly punitive charges with them. We saw this with Aaron Schwartz and Sergey Aleynikov.

I'm not sure that's a good reference :

"The article examines the connection between natural ultraviolet light (UV) radiation and the incidence of cancer in human beings."

This device uses artificial UV and then it's to activate titanium oxide on the handle (presumably some type of catalytic reaction is set up).

It's possible, on external handles, it could use natural UV but they state the main application is indoor, hence the capture of the door movement to generate the power for the UV light. Does sound rather clever.

However, as another poster has already said, the 'old fashioned' tradition of brass door knobs and general brass fixtures in toilets and even [very] old hospital beds has been shown to be very effective in killing bacteria. It was only after these were phased out in places such as hospitals, that resistant bacteria became a serious problem. (Though the time to disinfect seems to be much longer than this UV/titanium oxide version, so it could be an improvement in high traffic areas.)

Quite simply, I don't think this is setting up a binary choice between bacteria and cancer.

Also, if you're cynical like me, then the palm oil industry might be a good place to start looking for why these regulations were created.
I understand you are frustrated in seeing the FBI spent public efforts on sports. However, you say, "it seems as if the FBI is interested mostly in sports" based off 2 stories.

The FBI is a huge organization. They can investigate illegal computer access as well as slavery rings. Their sports investigations are no different than any other corporation.

W/R/T your other objections, regarding financial and surveillance issues, well, it's clear that your opinions differ from those in power. To continue calling for investigation of financial shenanigans is, well, your choice, but it's not something I'm getting upset about. (Not because I don't think it's wrong, but because I don't like getting upset over things I have zero control over.)
Trans fat was banned. Palm oil is an alternative to trans fat products, but increased demand for palm oil will increase deforestation.

Your welcome, and yes it is nice and gratifying (and quite a bit scary) to have invented something that people start using after 45 minutes introduction.

They said "ok", which was even scarier, because now we had to deliver!

I found the problem when I stopped looking for it - I have been reading the zenhabits "letting go" book many times (six at last count) and part of finding something worthwhile to work on was stopping to search for "the thing"(tm) and start looking at what was around me.

Imagine you're on a lonely island. Would you rather eat all you can or conserve food to the extent possible?

Earth is humanity's lonely island. (I realize it's more complicated than that because billions of men on Earth do not make decisions in the same way that a lonely man on an island does. All I'm saying is that it is still more desirable to invest than save when we can, at least past some point. The extent to which society depends on consumption, perhaps excessive consumption, today, and "how to get from here to there" I don't know. I am however certain that flogging savers badly enough with high taxes will result in people burning their savings in what "from humanity's point of view" are very wasteful ways; also in people saving less in the first place by working less in the first place, also not that great - "imagine you have a business, would you rather have a worker who wants to make as much as he can and save it, or work as little as needed to survive because he can't save?")

> Should the FBI be involved when the Pats deflate some footballs?

Is there a federal law that makes doing that a federal crime, and, if so, is there not a federal law enforcement agency besides the FBI that has been designated to exclusively enforce the applicable law?

If yes to both of those, then, sure, there is a good case for the FBI getting involved, because its their job. Otherwise, no, they, shouldn't, because its not.

Year Handling in JavaScript
Where does the funny 50 kpps per core idea in the lead-in come from? This would mean falling far short of 1 gigE line rate with 1500 byte packets! This is is trivially disproven with everyday experience of anyone who's run scp over his home lan or crossover cable?
For your own sanity, you want some control over which thread is processing a packet, and at what point it does so. The easiest way to do this is to explicitly notify the kernel when you are in fact interested in another packet, and whether you wish your thread of control to be suspended until such a packet arrives if there is no next packet.

The JavaScript model of "call some callback when the currently-executing function returns" doesn't work, because C is not event-based. The embedded model of "interrupt whatever's happening and invoke some handler on the current thread of control" is just an absolute nightmare to deal with.
Well the NFL did decide that on their own, because they were able to figure out what happened internally. In this case, the MLB was unable to determine who compromised the Astros' network. So it would be completely appropriate for the MLB to seek out side help. Since, as noted in the article, their assumption was that some hacker penetrated their network, they called the FBI.
The article also refers to Macs as PCs!
Most of which are terrible. Population studies are generally awful, especially when you're using the population of people on a restrictive diet vs. people eating whatever the hell they want to. Especially when you consider the number of vegans who are actually active vs. the rest of the population, which is quite substantial in my anecdotal experience. I think what you can see from these studies is that avoiding processed foods, being a healthy weight, and being active are good for you.

Also, what about the studies showing the children of vegan (it might even be vegetarian, can't recall) mothers have lower birth weights, IQs, and are shorter than the general population? What about the rates of B-Vitamin anemia?

I think that the benefits of being a vegan are the benefits of being concerned with your health. I'd be interested to see a comparison between an equally fastidious group of meat eaters.
