Was randomly recommended a video on YouTube a few weeks ago which was a recording of a tour of the WLW broadcast transmitter facility. You get to see the high power equipment in detail accompanied by lots of history about the facility. Was a fun watch.
From what I remember poking around at Hansa that's not true. Each vendor / user had a public key associated with their account. All text communication through the website was supposed to be with GPG encrypted text secured by private keys unavailable to website.
So law enforcement has lots of encrypted text along with some clear text from users not informed enough to follow any kind of opsec.
The 5th covers several rights of a person accused of a crime. In this context they are referring to the amendment's protection against self incrimination: "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."
A person has the right to decline to answer questions if they believe that their answers could be used against them as evidence of a criminal act. This particular proceeding is civil rather than criminal so its outcome can't result in any criminal convictions. However, if he were later to be charged with a crime and tried in a criminal court any testimony he gave in this civil action could be used against him as evidence in the criminal trial.
I come to the HN web site on slow work days or when I need a breather and generally look at front page stories or glance over the Ask HN list.
I noticed what seemed like a pattern: stories with a high ratio of points to comments were often more valuable and the discussions more interesting. Entries with more comments than upvotes are frequently pop culture-y or bike shedding discussions.
So to try and see a "best of" without lower value discussions I threw together a Twitter feed that lists stories with high points and a high point to comment ratio: https://twitter.com/HighSNHN
Once closure happens the bill heads into markup behind closed doors where the sausage making starts.
These bills are still very much on track. People need to be on the phones to their senators urging a no vote on closure so that the debate can happen in public with input from both sides.
Yesterday had some impact, but these bills are still very much on track to become law. All the post mortems today aren't communicating that very well.
The closure vote in the Senate on the 24th needs at least 41 no votes to prevent the bill from moving into markup. While more senators have announced opposition or doubt, current headcounts put "no" votes on closure only in the single digits.
Unlike subcommittee hearings, the markup hearings are closed door and allow the Senate to draft a final version of the bill without public scrutiny or testimony from tech leaders. If this legislation follows suite with other controversial legislation, the bill that emerges will have enough back room deals attached to let both the latecomer opposition and the White House to declare the bill a healthy compromise irregardless of the facts.
People need to be on the phone to their senators. Urge them to vote no on closure so that the inevitable compromise bill can be debated in public with input of experts.
I think its a good idea and will give it a try next time I need to spin up a theme.
Ignore the negativity in these comments. This is a great example of scratching your own itch and being generous enough to place it on Github. Who cares if the bulk of WordPress users won't grok it? That's no reason not to build it. Thanks for sharing.
Besides entertainment value doesn't all of this back and forth reduce down to the age old "use the right tool for the job in front of you"?
Node.js as it currently stands isn't the best solution for applications that will involve CPU intensive tasks. Perhaps at the outset of a project you don't know when and where those types of tasks will pop up so basing an entire architecture on it might be risky.
However, it seems to me that regardless of the above, there are tasks Node excels at and it would be silly to dismiss it as a technical solution all together. I'm building browser based games with it and love working with Node. The bulk of the logic is in the client and Node serves as the glue that allows people to play games together from different clients. Nothing I have read gives me pause about this implementation.
Often times they are stuck using insecure browsers because some archaic piece of in house software depends on obsolete features only present in dated versions of browsers. They choose to skip updates because they don't want to spend the cash rebuilding the timekeeping system to work with anything other than IE <= 7.
I don't know if his views on this issue completely line up with the prevailing sentiment here, but this is the second time in recent memory that Sen Wyden has acted to bail out the internet as we know it in the US. If the issue is important to you consider taking a minute to contact his office to express your opinion or even donate something to his campaign.
I think you'd find a site like stackoverflow to be a more helpful place to ask a question like this. Certainly there are JS experts around here, but people tend to be in a different mode when browsing HN and are more up for discussing tech at a 10,000 foot perspective.
1) Yes - Its the browser security model enforcing this rule and not anything directly related to the DOM. In theory the rule is in place to make cross site scripting harder. It is bizarre that there is an easy work around like JSONP, but I'd say lets just be grateful that it exists.
2) Common. Its a hack, but its also useful enough that its widely used.
Maybe its because I was skimming, maybe its because department versus department battles in a large company feel all too natural, but I have to admit that this had me all the way until:
"It's not like people are going to start using Bing."
Interesting that the Google provides several offerings for Sprint and then the fiber project picks KCK which is a stone's throw from Sprint headquarters.
Could be completely unrelated, but could be hinting at further alignments.
While this seems to be mainly a headline grabbing talking point that is lacking any path to implementation, Rick Perry (or at least one of his speech writing advisors) seems to have some interestingly disruptive ideas about using technology to make education both better and cheaper. The call for a $10,000 bachelors seems to hinge mainly on utilizing web based technologies and distance learning.
During the recent election he also advocated replacing elementary school textbooks with laptops. The laptops could be used to provide students with electronic copies of textbooks that were more up to date, cheaper, and able to be supplemented with educational games and multimedia.

I don't know about New York, but in DC gentrification is pushing many of the urban poor to the older suburbs like Prince George's County in Maryland.
As the process continues it might be that some of the first suburban areas built in the 50s and 60s become the new "inner cities." Transportation costs serve as a pressure to drive people back into re-developed spots in the city and next lowest cost of living are many of these first suburbs that haven't seen development and investment keep up with the times.
