Off-topic but the auto-renewal tools are so nice, combined with a chron job and nginx reload, I would always prefer Let's Encrypt over alternatives.

What if you install self-driving linux.

> Using the messaging service is a voluntary decision

Once a critical mass uses a messaging service, it's not a completely voluntary decision, especially when there is no open standard with interoperable competing apps.

What about a touchpad on the spacebar. Which such a wide aspect ratio, it might actually work. Or, go back to the double-row enter key and that would be enough space.

I'd like to see a standardization of EULAs along the lines of Creative Commons licensing. They have a human readable version of their licensing, logos/icons for each, and you create one by answering a few basic questions.

"The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole"

If we assume one iPhone to be 5 inches then we can span the equator to the North pole 12.7 times (5 inches is .127 meters).

"This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963 and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Felix_the_cat.svg ... although then someone disputed that on the Wikipedia page.

Ha. Never has executing liberal activists been part of the gentrification there.

Is this the basis of your statement?

> Wilbur Worthen, a mentally-ill 56-year-old whom Gray had befriended, burst into his office at the Drop Inn Center and shot him to death with a .357 magnum.

The Drop Inn Center is a homeless shelter. Buddy Gray was shot by a person he had previously helped at the shelter.

The 2001 riots destroyed the neighborhood and most people left. Then 3CDC bought the majority of the buildings.

It might. There are other optimizations for synchronization introduced around Java 1.6 after wisdom around StringBuilder was already common. I think it's still safe to say StringBuilder at least can't hurt performance. More info: https://www.infoq.com/articles/java-threading-optimizations-...

Separately, it's interesting to me chained calls can be more efficient. Personally I prefer these longer, multi-line type of statements from a readability perspective. So I'm happy it happens to be efficient.

You can also do it with my project which is based only on Java, https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver

Assuming they're honest here, is it possible it's other apps tapping the microphone, correlating it with your Facebook account, and somehow placing items in your newsfeed/etc.? I'm not familiar with the capabilities of FB ad platform to know if this is feasible. Otherwise, like someone else here said, it's probably contracted out to a third-party doing the mic listening.

For Java I like http://reddit.com/r/java

I think the idea is that a small number of corporations will have a complete knowledge of the lives and psychology of their users, be able to influence their behavior even without display ads, and be able to predict all of their behavior. Additionally, the government will piggyback on all of this technology too.

I don't think any of this is inherently nefarious. Hopefully with policy reforms and additional privacy preserving technologies, we will avert the future Moglen warns of.

Does it matter if people ignore ads? These are not broadcast ads like radio or television. They analyze behavior and encourage an architecture that exactly suits the needs of government surveillance.

And I'm not confident users will win the ad blocking war. There are easy ways to permanently defeat ad blockers, but the industry hasn't embraced them yet because the current system works well enough. E.g., ad code can be served from the same server with no identifying CSS classes or ids. Or with WebAssembly the web could turn into black box binaries.

Further, there's fundamentally no way to defeat behavioral tracking, because it can be done when people merely use a website.

And track your time. Don't work too little or too much, and it's good motivation to not take too many breaks. On linux I like https://projecthamster.wordpress.com/about/

Also outside of major metro areas renting a single office might make sense. Between office space and internet access it would cost about $250/mo in the Midwest.

Maybe you weren't downvoted over the terminology. Putting the year in titles isn't required if it's an evergreen article (i.e., not news, not timely).

At this point though Java is largely GPLv2 with the Classpath exception.

This case increases the risk of using platforms, libraries, and services in general.

Yes unlikely this person would be disappeared.

Tor Project distributes binaries, though. So it's not unreasonable to immediately hop on a flight to leave the country permanently. Once they hand you a national security letter (or use some other leverage), not sure what effective recourse you have. I think it would be like dodging service in a lawsuit (which can work).

It would be difficult to account properly for ingredients such as butter and oil which are hard to see in a finished dish and drastically affect the calories.

But people would probably still pay as long as it's a good faith attempt, since they can't necessarily do better themselves, so it would be just as accurate and save time.

And with geolocation, you could start to figure out where people are and then you'd know exactly the calories if they're at a chain restaurant.

You can use my project https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver which can be both headless or (what's the opposite of headless?) have a full GUI. It runs on Java using Java's built-in browser and will take a second to warm up when an instance is created, but after doing so, you can reuse the existing browser since I added a reset() API. Performance is comparable to desktop browsers (slightly slower), and for every action it blocks until AJAX page loads finish.

Kevin Rose talks about cryotherapy. He's planning to release some PDF history of it.

It would be more efficient if everyone got a little cart as soon as they got in line where they can put their shoes, belts, laptops, etc. Then when you get to the x-ray, the whole cart is inserted. The slow down is always at the point where people are taking out all their stuff. And maybe add some courtesy, unstaffed metal detectors along the route to the checkpoint so you get a heads up metal stuff is in your pockets.

However, I think locked cockpit doors and air marshals have solved most of the airline problems (versus security screening). Also, pre-9/11 most people assumed those hi-jacking planes had some demands and then everyone would be let go without harm. No one thinks that anymore, so passengers will fight.

I often try the technique of leaving lots of space and going at a slower, steady pace. One problem is that everyone re-routes around you, and you induce road rage and traffic weaving. The other problem is that unless it's a straight stretch of road, you have no idea what speed is slow enough.

By variation I mean HN is based on http://arclanguage.org/install ... I don't know how much the code bases have diverged.

They do have an API: http://blog.ycombinator.com/hacker-news-api

A variation of it is open source. The anti-spam features are guarded secrets.

They take a pretty conservative approach to adding features.

Social Security for everyone.

There are cases where the service is not substituting software. E.g., something like Stripe or Twilio... versus software which is offered as a service because it's a nice form of DRM.
