Siemens COM was split into several smaller companies which were all sold. [1] Shares in B2C joint ventures (Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances) were sold to the respective partners. Siemens (energy, industry, mobility, healthcare technology) is alive and well (and quite huge, with 362,000 employees and a revenue of €71.9 billion), nowadays targeting profitable B2B markets.

Philips is going through some struggle, but they are still an important player on the lightning and healthcare technology markets. Just compare Philips' 105,300 employees to Motorola Solutions' 15,000 employees.

[1] BenQ Mobile ("BenQ-Siemens") went bust; Gigaset still manufactures DECT phones in Bocholt, Germany, as Europe's market leader; Unify (formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications) is still a major player; Nokia Networks (formerly Nokia Siemens Networks; formerly Nokia Networks + Siemens Networks) is now the backbone of Nokia.
9) People were using this incident to complain about various things during the entire run of it.

It is merely still going on and might receive slightly more attention now that the shit show is winding down.

Can you point to a specific example? the only things I have seen is some brigading and cabal to pressure a project owner to remove a contributor from a project, but it was akin to a lynch mob, not related with programming in any way.
Hm... I remeber the Milestone days, they said it will support Flash. They even made lots of advertisment with their flash phone.
However they never officially supported flash.
Also the updates were pretty much delayed and while a author on xda could be way faster on bringing updates + a smoother feeling to the phone a company like motorola couldn't they announced phone by phone instead of focusing on a few and supporting them.
Thats why most companies failed and thats why the iphone is so beloved.
It's supported over a freak amount of time. Okai not every bug gets fixed fast, but that's more an internal issue.
However on android the situation is really really bad. Too much fragmentation, too many companies that don't care about the software just more money.. (which apple of course do aswell but with their update policy they make their customers more happy than most other software vendors)
The fun part is that DNF was delayed because of too much money. The HURD didn't need money for that. GNU owns.

Only thing irritating is the constant comparisons to Apple, not just in this article but any article. If a company can't compete with Apple it's suddenly a weak company that the author suggested the employees should quit from to 'join a startup'.

This is asinine. Motorola has licensed deals with almost every American and Canadian police/government force. They basically own digital RF encryption. They have a foothold in this industry and it's not close, and they can't be pushed out. If I was an employee in their radio division I could really care less if they are involved in phones are not.

It's still a billion dollar company, what are we even saying 'bye' to?

"Yellow journalism" means it's sensationalized or exaggerated, but I think most of Vice's stuff wasn't; they simply reported on sensational topics, and people assumed they were exaggerated because the topics are seemingly larger-than-life to an audience unfamiliar with them.

Of course, they weren't perfect, but when they did sensationalize or exaggerate, I think it was a bit more harmless than most news sources. Everyone is doing it to sell ad space, but Vice tended to sensationalize stories that were weird rather than stories that created fear or outrage--their sensationalism was less politicized.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm talking about Vice a while back, not Vice now. The changes mentioned in the article are already apparent in some of what Vice is doing these days.

Yes, and it gets even worse if it's not the browser's disk cache, but the browser's RAM cache paged by the kernel to the swap.

Paging out RAM is fast, you just write pages to the disk in chunks that are contiguous on the disk. But the contiguous disk chunks don't correspond to contiguous virtual addresses, and when reading them back in, the order is just however the application chooses to access the pages, so it's quite random and hard to predict. And you can only buffer writes, not reads - you have to block reads until you get the data.

25 years ago you might have 4MB of swap, at 4KB page size that's 1000 pages, or 1000 potential individual points you may have to seek to.

Today 4GB of swap is sort of a minimum size that's not entirely useless, and that's 1 million pages, or 1 million potential seek points.

So IMHO putting swap on hard disks with 5-10 ms seek latency was very useful back in the day, but is pretty much obsolete now - if you need swap put it on flash based storage.
Terrific site. A visualization of the relative locations of the probes would be a helpful addition.
Too bad that the Atom developers seem to be completely disrespectful of Windows users. They impose arbitrary rules that go against the philosophy of the OS and users' common sense:

* They don't allow the user to select where to install Atom, instead proposing mucking with symlinks, while at the same time crying "simplicity". Uhm, yeah...

* They don't understand what portable software is, and refuse to provide a self-contained installer (settings and all). They propose setting a global environment variable to point to the settings directory instead. Seriously?

If you want to release software for multiple platforms, you should get off your high horse and show some respect.

Most images from space probes look a bit weird because they have been taken using science instruments and not typical cameras. They need to be processed in one way or another to make an image out of a data set.
They don't need to make an interview to learn more about the extension but even so it's convenient to be able to talk to the author directly.
This is a textbook example of fair use! A 5-second clip would have sufficed. it wouldn't have reproduced a large part of the work. it certainly wouldn't have affected the market for that work. it was for educational or criticism purposes, etc.

Just see the headings here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

OTOH I can see why the author would have wanted to steer a million miles of reproducing ANYTHING (including so much as mentioning the title of any work, which obviously isn't copyright infringement.)

in this case it's not so much copyright infringement as steering very very clear of reference to anything.

This account shares the same nick and full name for someone that Wikipedia describes as "American black hat[3] hacker, white nationalist, and Internet troll", and says "The New York Times reported that Auernheimer claimed responsibility for posting a false account of programming author and game developer Kathy Sierra's career in 2007[62] including charges that she was a former sex worker, along with her actual address and Social Security number.[11] This led to her receiving death threats and threats of sexual violence[63] and to her online absence from 2007 to 2013."

As per an earlier HN threads, I prefer to use the term "harasser" instead of "troll".
Of course it isn't Welsh.

I would assume the U.S. has a similar operational plan. In times of peace, it is a functioning military's job to plan for war.

One key difference is that the U.S. is already testing the technology and process necessary to carry out such an operation---reference the drone strike.
Hi,
Sorry to confuse you. The post is actually meant to be for people who come from ST and move over to Atom. There is no particular useful feature I am aware of (except maybe the git integration) that requires everyone to make the switch. I just wrote this post to show how I use Atom now and that it basically capable of everything I liked about ST. It's not really this is better than that, it's just that I have now two editors that work great for me :)
This seems to be an ebook, the image of a paper book at the top is kind of misleading.

It's funny because this isn't even true, TechRaptor as a Tech reporting site has existed since early 2013, here is a Web Archive from about a year before "GamerGate" started: http://web.archive.org/web/20131124114156/http://techraptor....

In fact it was founded by Rutledge Daugette in March 2013, over a year before "GamerGate".

What this should tell you both about said claim and the person making it I would like to leave to you.
Atom v1.0 is lot better than beta releases, but not as good as Sublime. Atom is open source unlike Sublime which is closed source, so in the long run atom is definitely going to be the winner. For Now, Sublime is much better than Atom and there is lot of gap in terms of performance. Lets hope, Atom gets better & better with releases.
Sorry, I can't really speak for that. I have only used ST and Atom on Mac :-/
The issue is just ridiculous. Can't be that hard to add an installer path :-/
This Google NTP stuff with SystemD comes to mind [1]. Everybody, especially HN, jumped on the hate train and spammed the issue

I'd call this an exception. An organization that is willing to take one on the chin, so to speak, by declaring a breach of their policies even in the absence of evidence of abuse of the policy violation is actively demonstrating their commitment to security before they've been hacked.
If the trial based on sexual orientation was still as obviously fraudulent as pao's trial was then the result would be largely the same I think.

After reading up on the trial to me it seemed rather obvious that the suit was fraudulent and had no basis in reality. The jury quickly reached a unanimous agreement on almost all of the counts as well with little room for debate on most of the issues at hand. As far as I recall they just spent a bit of time on the details regarding one specific thingamabob.

FPH ban had some hate against pao but not on this level as far as I recall (wasn't really in the drama then). The jailbait shebangle is before my time so dunno there.

This combined with the various ethical misadventures of her and her homosexual husband (which would actually help them considerably from an ethical viewpoint considerably if the CEO was actually a gay male as then it wouldn't be an obvious sham marriage).

In fact it was founded by Rutledge Daugette in March 2013, over a year before "GamerGate" started in August 2014. So apparently the site was "set up by evil GamerGaters" over a year and a half before it ever existed in prescient foreknowledge and expectation.

I'm reminded of the breach reported by Britain's National Health Service in 2014 (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/03/nhs-england-p...), where data was uploaded to make use of Google's big-data sifting technologies in violation of NHS policy about secured storage of British citizenry PII.

The irony that the data had been uploaded to a physically secured, encrypted datacenter network from 27 DVDs in the possession of someone who could do whatever they wanted to with the contents of those DVDs without audit was not lost on me.

I don't reference this to imply it was good and proper use of the data; merely to note the difference between policy security and actual security.

I know all of that, I'd like to go into more detail about how I interacted with these companies but I don't like to go into specifics about my identity here

> Siemens (energy, industry, mobility, healthcare technology) is alive and well

> Philips (...) still an important player on the lightning and healthcare technology markets

What it's common about those items is that they rely less on software (still, there are things like SCADA, etc) and have higher margins (B2B)
This is one example I had in mind when I made this thread; the issue that the grandparent mentions is another. I have seen a similar scenario play out with a few smaller projects' repositories but I am reluctant to mention them.

There is also good-natured but meaningless noise like https://github.com/gogits/gogs/issues/5. I believe this kind of support, while flattering at first, ultimately puts undue pressure on the volunteer contributor. On the plus side, the comments come from people using the project.

Perhaps GitHub was wrong to get rid of the upvote button on issues unconditionally. Having the option to enable it would probably have helped the Gogs case.

Wont let me edit, but I've had companies email me back as to why they didn't hire me. Not sure why you would think they never do this.
There's me. No employees ;)

When I started working in 2011 at an awesome startup [1], my first performance review included "be more up to date with industry news, frameworks, practices".

I started reading HN all the time. I'm not so passionate with code so I didn't succeed to read /r/programming as much. About 5000 articles later, I've started my own company.

Thanks to common advice on HN/by pg, I've published my MVP when I was still ashamed of the product. Did things that didn't scale. Got revenue from month 3. Bootstrapped instead of raising funds. Heroku'ed instead of OVHing. Of course I didn't apply advice in an orderly manner, which caused me to build a product before finding customers, or targetting B2B instead of B2C-then-B2B, etc. but my startup is well alive.

Thank you, vibrant community!

Two things to be aware of:

1) This was an external press release. It's possible communication to the actual Guard had more detail. Or not; it's the military, and they'll tell you what you "need to know."

2) While they don't guarantee the data wasn't leaked, I read that as more in the sense that "The non-DoD-accredited datacenter is outside of our auditing trail" than in the sense that it's actually likely the data was leaked. If you take my state's drivers' license database and uploaded it to AWS, the state can't "guarantee" the data wasn't used unlawfully either, but you can be certain that Amazon has a lot to lose if some failure of their infrastructure gives China access to a list of passport-authorizing documents.
Right, but it's worth noting that's the opposite situation from road customs: it's much more believable because a significant portion of people traversing spiral staircases in castles were carrying swords.

EDIT: Having now read your linked article, I'll add that the spiral staircase story is more believable due to primary sources. :)
What makes a winner? Everyone I know has purchased Sublime and will likely purchase 3 when its out of beta. It must generate millions of dollars in revenue, and has an incredibly active community, just judging from the package control website.

Open source doesn't magically "win" over closed/commercial just by the nature of being open source.
Incorrect. Every Boy Scout I know carries at least one knife, after they get their Toting Chit.
It's funny that a writer for the New York Times is apparently tainted because he held an AMA.

An AMA which he held deliberately vague and where he made various of the claims that critics of "GamerGate" make to begin with, for which he was amply downvoted at times:

https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3cur16/im_m...

Again, what does this say about an ideology that sees someone writing for a giant publication as "tainted" simply for posting in a certain Subreddit, even if he largely agrees with them?

I've been using Atom (now Nuclide) for a year. It's reasonably good.
I believe in something like `react-native-desktop` based editor. Only JS Threads + UI Native Thread. It's a huge task to implement all these APIs, yes, but I couldn't imagine how fast and responsive Atom would be without Chrome inside.

It's likely similar to the British NHS policy failure in 2014.

The shear between the tools publicly available on private data networks for analyzing and slicing bulk data and the tools available on cloud networks is wide and growing. As it continues to widen, you can anticipate that more and more tech-savvy mid-level staff in government positions will look at the status quo and say "I could follow policy to the letter, or I could use the cheap-and-easy tools I'm familiar with to get some Goddamn work done and trust that data living in AWS is at least as secure as where it currently lives, in that tool-shed-looking building on the back of the base with the door that doensn't quite latch correctly."

The CCD used in LORRI (Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager) takes 1024 × 1024 pixel monochrome (350 nm to 850 nm wavelength light) images. Currently Pluto is still quite small on that sensor, but rapidly getting larger.

You can see the original (sort of, see below for more information) images here: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/

On the image linked in the comment you are responding to, Pluto has been enlarged about four to five times its size (from 120 pixels across to nearly 600), but I don’t think whoever did that used anything more than a bog-standard proportional resampling algorithm, the kind everyone uses when they enlarge photos.

Expect images where no one will feel the need to resample and enlarge them in a couple days.

Oh, and here is the promised section, directly copied from that website, on what kind of processing has been done to those images before posting them to the web:

“The images posted at this website have been processed by ground-based LORRI calibration software, which removes the CCD bias level, corrects for CCD readout smear (LORRI does not have an aperture shutter, which creates smear as the image is transferred from the optically active region of the CCD to the storage region of the CCD), and corrects for pixel-to-pixel sensitivity variations.

“LORRI images typically contain a handful of cosmic ray strikes, which are not removed by the calibration processing. These often appear as single, bright pixels, but sometimes they produce streaks of several bright pixels. They are usually fairly easily distinguished from the images of real astronomical objects (e.g., stars, planets, or satellites).

“LORRI images are recorded on the spacecraft as 12-bit integers with light level values from 0 to 4095. The groundbased calibration processing converts the images to 32-bit double-precision numbers. For display on this web page, the calibrated images are then converted to 8-bit JPEG files (i.e., images with 256 intensity levels) using a linear scaling stretch that maps the minimum intensity in the calibrated image to 0 and the maximum intensity to 255. Thus, the web images do not record the actual CCD signal level; nor do they retain the full dynamic range of the original images. As a result, some images that appear blank on this page actually have important data in them, but this cannot be seen in the automatically-converted 8-bit JPEGs posted here.

“The following ancillary information is provided for each image posted: the date of the observation in coordinated universal time (UTC) at the New Horizons spacecraft, the exposure time of the image in milliseconds, the name of the target, the range to the target in kilometers (i.e., the distance between the New Horizons spacecraft and the target; for example, 12.1M km means 12.1 million kilometers), and the root filename of the image.”
