I've used Mitro ever since I heard about it. It's been really fantastic to use, and the team did an incredible job creating it. It has everything I look for in a password manager, even without any updates or changes since it's been open sourced.

On a different note, even though I'd pay to use it, after following the Google Group pretty closely, it seems like Mitro has been unable to foster any sort of development community in the short time the project has been open source. I would have loved to help, but mitro-core is written in Java[0], a language I have little experience with (I don't count my Data Structures class in college).

I'm curious if the demise of Mitro could be a useful case study of how not to open source a big codebase. It seems that they're shutting it down primarily because of lack of development interest, including lack of interest from the original creators. It could be naturally assumed that they were "expecting" a community to form around Mitro, and embrace the open sourceness of it, but that obviously didn't happen. I wonder if the founders would have done something different with the way they open sourced Mitro, given what has transpired.

the latency is 4.6 hours (speed of light), New Horizon's bandwidth is around 1kbit/s from Pluto
FWIW in England prominent favourable coverage was given to anti-vacination frauds; and to climate-change deniers (even those paid for their opinion); and to MRSA scare merchants (see Bad Science for examples). Look at the terrible quality of most science reporting (especially anything related to nutrition).

mc32's comments don't seem too far off-base -- although I have no idea if they apply to the US media.
do you really think SOA can handle user authentication somehow useful? All the buzz for SOA is exaggerated enough. It seems only Netflix and Amazon can do services right, no?

If a GPS system needs my 3G/4G connection to work, I'm not using it. Period.

Clever ad, btw. It's not like they are running this every day to enforce some law. It might be a little distraction (on top of the other 200 distraction/minute you get while driving) but it's good press, and for a good reason.
Knife crime is rare in UK. Stats are skewed by gang violence in Glasgow, some parts of Manchester, and London.

I never fear knife crime in my small town (pop approx 100,000).
It seems so, have you tried that?
Tried that. It's quite a big and complex language, there are lots of rough edges (I had it crashing from a double free within 5 minutes of trying it out), the bus factor is in the basement and although I didn't stick with it long enough to know for sure, there's much more mutability there than made me comfortable during my short sojourn.
Interesting. How are components hardened against radiation?
Could this be used to model the lifecycle of a Reddit post? What makes one thread get more votes and be replied to more often versus another similar thread posted at the same time. Is there a time when a comment is more likely to be voted for, based on wall clock or relative to the start of the thread. What topics are more likely to receive votes than others. Is there a minimum time between when reposts can be posted and still get upvotes. What are the most reposted things on Reddit. Why do people keep voting for reposts.
Changed the wording. Do you honestly believe your second sentence?

Well, one can still be useful by becoming a toady for elite power interests by promulgating certain cultural narratives.
I have both LHD and RHD cars. I would say the placement of the pedals in relations to the footwell is something that varies a lot depending on the manufacturer and vehicle rather than 'sidedness'.

A lot of people say changing gear with their right hand feels more natural. To be honest I don't think there is a lot of difference. If you're a competent driver the position in the he car shouldn't make for much difference.
To be clear, it didn't happen in the order you specified. It was more like 2-3-1-4 — Victoria fired, protest, subreddits shut down in protest, Ellen resigns (1 week later) — and it was moderators who took down the subreddits, not reddit admins (Victoria was pretty much uninvolved besides getting fired.)
The real question is if we are changing a very productive system for a not soo good one. Octopuses growth much quicker than strawerries, and are also more expensive. Any aquaculture system in the same area will provide much more human food and better revenues (you are using a 3d volume for production instead a 2d surface).

Marine soil is not apt to cultivate, so you need to put terrestrial soil underwater (or hydroponics), and this is not cheap. There is also a real possibility of contamination of beaches with manure after a storm.
It is better to simply assume that all data has been breached unless incontrovertible proof is found to the contrary.

Neat. Anyone have an idea who their customers are/what this chip would be used for?
They do have an updater but it's slow to pick up changes and still requires user intervention.

I haven't had Flash installed for a couple years and rarely miss it – if you use click-to-play many sites favor Flash but will use HTML5 video if the plugin isn't available, so you actually get a better experience with it entirely gone rather than just disabled by default.

The hate against Ellen Pao started with her lawsuit which is related to her gender.

My understanding is that her lawsuit was more related to her ethics, or lack thereof, than to her gender. Is that an unreasonable way to put it?
Freenet 1468 stable released
Freenet 1468 stable released!

db4o is gone from Fred. It is replaced with the product of toad's
summer of work - a custom on-disk format that is much more robust
against corruption and is more efficient in both CPU and I/O. [0] A new
crypto API (unixninja92’s Google Summer of Code) is available for
plugins to easily perform cryptographic operations within Freenet. This
new API has been designed to make it as simple as possible to do the
“right” thing cryptographically and to follow current best security
practices. See freenet.crypt.EncryptedRandomAccessBuffer and
freenet.crypt.MessageAuthCode for details.

For those who haven’t been following it since 1999: Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites" (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect. — https://freenetproject.org/whatis.html
Even malware makes it into adsense , and if i remember correctly it took a few hours after reporting the ad for it to be removed. It's been a while since i ve had these reports though.
The title alone is misleading. It presupposes that its wrong to have something to hide. I have plenty I'd prefer to be hidden, none of it illegal.

Whats so damned wrong with having things to hide?
Discretion used to be a virtue. What happened?
Not only could the oxford comma not be placed there correctly (it needs a list of 3 or more items), but it wouldn't prevent it from being ambiguous and needing context.
Interesting. It's an odd thing, to me the immediate story is heroic founders and VC conspire to save company. I wondered if there was a negative or victim in this case, at worst it would be Conde Nast, but even they win in this scenario if Reddit becomes profitable which I think they might be able to make happen. It does paint the entire Ellen Pao saga in a really interesting light.

Same for me, I'm was quite suspicious about this.

Especially also that you might not get the whole spectrum at this depth and this might be problematic for some plants.
This would be great for someone who is planning a move but doesn't want to take a lot of things with them. Sell as much as you can all in one go instead of parting it out on Craigslist or similar.

A shame it's only in the Bay area (for now, at least).
The distinction seems akin to freedom fighter vs. terrorist. If you're arguing in favor of improving the community, it's curation; if you just got shadowbanned, it's censorship. But it's the rules themselves that are at issue, not the mods enforcing them. Since the issue is further restricting discourse on reddit and I am opposed, I use the word censorship.

(I'll add that when it ventures into the realm of truly offensive behavior that can hardly be classified as content, the pro-restrictions term might start to become "justified censorship")
Seems kind of like the "law of security testing" -- the lack of evidence of data breaches doesn't preclude the possibility of leaked data.

calling obama a monkey is different from calling george w. bush a monkey regardless of intention.
Good find, I think I got reddit confused with stackoverflow or wikipedia. If there's no clear assignment of copyright to api users, I would imagine that would be problematic for 3rd party app makers.
The app store link on the page doesn't seem to work for me. Also, when I signed up, there was no conformation on the page that my signup was successful, the page just refreshed.

Ask HN: Is Pando doomed?
For a while it seemed like PandoDaily might rise to the level of some the big tech news sites (recode, TechCrunch, Ars Technica). Heck they even got mentioned on season 1 of Silicon Valley.
But they have put up a pay wall and now charge $10 a month for access, which seems outrageously high given that is the same amount the Economist asks for.
It seems to me that within a year or two they will likely be defunct.
What is the target market for a Russian 90nm 16Mbit SRAM?
The only customers I can think of would be Russian defense contractors where domestic sourcing might be required. The fact that it's in a (gigantic by current standards) ceramic QFP would also suggest an aerospace application.

edit: here is a part from TI that might be similar, that Mouser has listed for $6,075.49. It is export-restricted, radiation hardened, and has advanced error detection and correction.

"[...] in a cash and stock deal that could be worth as much as $100 million if Zealot appreciates in value."
Surely Pao must have signed off on the decision at some point?
There's a lot of prejudice in your sentence. Having some experience in this debate topic, I don't think there are "holocaust deniers", there are only gas chamber skeptics. Same with "anti vaccination nuts", I think there are only people that are against forced vaccination. No one is against you vaccinating your kids and living in a town where only vaccinated people are allowed.

If arguments were as simple as you're pretending they are, those argument would not have been going on for decades.
This isn't what most people think of when they hear data breach. There was a breach of DoD security standards when data was transferred to an inappropriate environment but no evidence that the data has been leaked beyond that transfer.

I think it's laudable that the Army National Guard would do a breach notification when there's only the possibility of malicious data loss.
Or perhaps we should instead feast on

Seems about right for a service of their type and size - probably a couple of servers and some external monitoring.
I used to work at construction sites in Brooklyn where mexicans were living 10 people a room in horrible conditions in Brighton Beach, so those "nice" neighborhoods that you see in Chicago are just a face of it, try going inside the actual houses...Looking at them from your office or just by driving by will not obviously show a real picture, so please educate yourself.
What I have been told years ago, no source though, is that trains were invented and first implemented in the UK while metro was first implemented by French people.
>I still think they are more likely to hate a woman.

Well sure. If 3% of people are virulently sexist (against women) and none or fewer are sexist against men, the overall sentiment leans towards sexism – especially when they're loud about it. But the opinions of the fringe should not indict the actions of the rest of the people on their side. I do not believe that most or even a substantial portion of the 200,000 people who signed the petition to remove Pao were motivated primarily by misogyny or racism.

I think came across as too aggressive in my reply, I apologise. Just yesterday when the news story broke, we saw people dropping the "gamergate" name randomly just to score some points on whatever they were arguing.

The name is extremely toxic, especially when there is a massive misunderstanding between people pushing for news stories which are less biased, written in a neutral point of view... and media spinning it as an anti-women movement. Wtf.

I'm of the belief the lack of neutrality in media is severely lobotomizing certain countries. I've lived in several european countries, each with strikingly different styles of media, and none of them are as shockingly bad as the american media.

Just like Pepsi and Coke, there's a symbiotic relationship between various media outlets where "rivalry" just helps drive the views up. Instead of having a handful of neutral stations where the reader can do their own research and form their own opinion (something which most readers are not interested in doing anyway), they divide their readership in camps, willingly driving away one camp while cultivating a soundproof echo chamber for the other. And within that space they'll do whatever it takes to get as many views, clicks, purchases as possible.

CGP Grey has two distinct really well written entry-level pieces on the subject; I'd recommend anyone to take a look if they aren't familiar with them.

I don't see why you want to downgrade your connection speed when you only
have millibits per second, when twenty years ago it was already kilobits per
second.

In case you simply can't use proper units, you need to ask yourself: do you
even use that 25Mbps? For what?
They want to reduce dependency on the u.s. . So maybe for use in their embedded industrial stuff ,and as a first step before producing a microcontroller (which 90nm is perfectly fine for) ?

(For anyone else like myself who didn't know what a QFP was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_Flat_Package )

Why does a ceramic QFP suggest an aerospace application?
Not necessarily an issue in the grand scheme of things.
True democracy just how the left likes it.
Quite. Who cares whether the NYT revised the article? The more salient criticism is that the article is a deeply lazy and tendentious exercise in using insinuation to push a predetermined narrative.

EDIT: I should have searched for [innguest holocaust] before answering.

There are plenty of people who think the holocaust - all of it - is a lie. And even if we accept your much more limited version of what a holocaust denier is - "the holocaust happened but the gas chambers didn't" - well, that's wrong too.

And there are plenty of people who campaign vigorously to stop other people's children being vaccinated, who accuse people who vaccinate their children of causing harm to those children.
Just like the 2015 general election, then. (For those who don't know, because of FPTP, the tories won with just ~30% of all votes...)
Android has maximum heap sizes that are vastly smaller than total RAM. They can be as small as 16MB. 32MB is common. Browsers do get special treatment in some configurations. But, still, Android is designed to keep many runtime instances happy together in memory. Large in-memory data models don't work well in Android.

Therefore the value of large RAM is limited. Samsung makes their maximum heap sizes extraordinarily large, but that just makes bloatware bloatier.

If you want a big, complex software system on Android, break it up into multiple runtime instances, e.g. a shared data model in a ContentProvider component, and a suite of apps built around it. It you have a gigantic app and you are trying to do a straight port from iOS, you're going to have a bad time.
"The company is also planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign next week to support further development." Why would a CEO wait till the week after an article with this many readers to launch such a campaign? Surely he could have launched it before this article?
Yes, it is unreasonable to want a gun for this situation because you only escalate the situation with a gun present.

Carrying a gun increases your risk to get shot:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17922-carrying-a-gun-i...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759797/

Saying that the cat is out of the bag so you need a gun is cold war logic were you need to be able to kill the other more times. So you rather want to escalate the situation further instead of trying e.g., what Australia did by implementing gun control?
I was gonna suggest MirageOS but held off. Since you said it, by all means do the port. Ill look at the stuff in the link when Im on desktop.
Maybe there is some untold, yet upcoming story behind this.
I think this is basically the same thing as a much older practice -- would you enjoy major holidays as much if people weren't so festive about them?

A sitcom with a laugh track may be less cinematically pure than the same sitcom with austere silence in the background, but watching a sitcom as a bonding activity works better with a laugh track.

So all things considered, it makes perfect sense to me for SpaceX to basically declare that certain occasions are SpaceX holidays and people should show a little more joy than usual.
It's called parajournalism. "Opinion piece" has a clearly defined meaning in journalism and is an entirely different genre.

Parajournalism seems to be journalism — “the collection and dissemination of current news” — but the appearance is deceptive. It is a bastard form, having it both ways, exploiting the factual authority of journalism and the atmospheric license of fiction. Entertainment rather than information is the aim of its producers, and the hope of its consumers.[0]

Your bullet list summary reveals little but your own bias/agenda and adds little to the conversation. We have the actual diff and can read for ourselves which is sort of the point. The diff link was provided in the source article: http://newsdiffs.org/diff/934341/934454/www.nytimes.com/2015...

I hope Margaret Sullivan looks into this. Seems appropriate.

Tim Cook's Apple loves big margins, he's a bean counter not an idea man. And we know companies run by bean counters always do fantastically well over the long haul.
I'll bite. Here's your first point:

>1. Pao is a hero to many online for her gender equality fight, but was ousted by people online as well. This is mostly beyond dispute, except for the presumption that the Reddit mob actually did oust her, which all the principals in the story deny. That interpretation favors the Reddit mob.

Who is she a hero to? How many is "many"? What evidence do they have of this statement? Is she actually fighting for gender equality? You were also right to question whether the 'crowd' (the current wording) is the cause of her ouster, but it is also worth asking just who is to be included in that group, and whether they can legitimately be thought of as a single coherent entity.

That's just one sentence. Your second point:

>2. Pao's resignation was abrupt and happened amidst a torrent of misogynist drama, renewing concerns about SV sexism. It's indisputable that her resignation was abrupt. It's indisputable that the story has generated concern about online sexism. Some people may not appreciate that concern, but that doesn't make its existence not a fact.

We can split hairs about what is meant by "abrupt resignation", but the community has been unhappy for quite some time. The change.org petition has been around for about a month. "happened amidst a torrent of misogynist drama" is a phrase nearly without empirical meaning. Certainly there was "drama" involved, as with any other significant occurrence, but one must ask to what extent was "misogyny" involved, how was that relevant, and what criteria do they use to qualify that term. And of course, "renewing" what "concerns" to whom?

One can continue down your list in a similar fashion.

Furthermore, the context is certainly manufactured. Pao is famous for her lawsuit, and as a consequence gets associated with "sexism in tech". Ironically, while the outcome of the lawsuit determined that she had not suffered gender discrimination, any news about her now assumes as context a narrative that she is the victim of sexism.

The new sexism angle is a red herring, and the article is worse off for it.
