The article implied the fiber led to digestion issues.

The value proposition for the user is very weak - too weak to get people to spy on each other.

What are the odds that I'm going to get a payout? That someone out there is interested and willing to pay for one of the license plates I've seen? Probably very low. Do I really want to waste my smartphone battery doing this? I'd rather have maps and music on.

This is a very click-bait-ey title. Maybe it could be changed to something more appropriate for HN?

edit: This post used to read as "The melting of Antarctica was already really bad. It just got worse." It has since been changed.

The article draws a pretty solid argument, if you wanted to confirm results yourself I'd suggest creating a windows vm, installing dropbox, and getting a packet capture of the traffic leaving when you drop a .docx file in the C:// directory.

It's not a stretch of the imagination that dropbox could still be making a profit spending bandwidth and storage space this way. I can think of a government agency or two that would re-imburse the costs.

I'm more concerened with a rocket launch failing spectacularly when the payload includes a nuclear reactor.

Has anything like this been attempted before?

Why not create a Swift Compiler and Toolchain for LLVM?

At the end of the day we live in a world governed by supply and demand.

We're not going to shift to a 'usefulness' based mindset, and we should avoid shifting to the mindset that an object is equal to the sum of it's parts. Supply and Demand are king.

I don't mean to say those guys aren't scumbags - I'm sure some of them are.

I just wanted to point out the opinion of the silk road presented in the article was not an opinion belonging to wired but instead it belongs to this Ver guy, who is in fact a criminal.

   The “police have been devoting a huge amount of resources to track down 
   peaceful people engaged in voluntary trade like Charlie Shrem and the 
   operators of the Silk Road Market,” Ver says

The part you left out is the most context that that statement was made by Ver, someone interviewed for the article, and no real claim was being made that the Silk Road is peacefully run.

You can gain additional insight into the statement when you look at how Robert McMillian introduces Ver, a few paragraphs back.

   Ver put a 37 bitcoin bounty on [the hackers] head.
   [Ver] was himself sentenced to 10 months in federal prison...

the top color is #cc1010 if you want to set it up as your custom top color.

Different offset frequencies have different effects so you should do more research and maybe experiment with some different beats before you just put one on repeat.

Some beats made me sleepy others made me agitated. You're probably looking for something to make you focused.

I also came here to share Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki.

I can't recommend it enough.

thanks, dunno how I missed that typo.

there was a lot of discussion on /r/linux about this yesterday.

concessions seemed to be that Devuan seems fishy, but I'll let you read for yourself. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2nm2u9/theyre_going_t...

  "Evolution has also had much faster pageload times than competitors, most of whom
  run painfully slowly thanks to Tor’s process of routing web traffic among random-
  ly chosen computers around the world. (Just how Evolution managed those speeds de-
  spite running on Tor itself isn’t clear.)"

I can't really investigate myself currently and I've never visited but is anyone here know if/why Evolution is faster?

Would a FOIA request need to be made to get the fill list?

If you wrote it in a language you consider "more secure" you'll open yourself to timing attacks and loose portability.

Here's a link to the phoronix article on the change. There's a bit of discussion about it in the comments as well.

Me and my buddy were going to work on a couple of projects last weekend and got bit by this.

The workaround once your chip has been flashed by the new driver is modifying the driver to communicate with devices that have a PID of 0.

I heard an advertisement for Beats Music on the radio last night and was wondering why Apple hasn't rolled it into iTunes yet.

I don't understand what you mean by "this is the logical conclusion of..."

What was concluded? Why is it logical?

Now back online but messages are not working for myself.

What's going to happen to people streaming Nintendo Games? Are we going to have another youtube situation?

Is this associated with http://filecoin.org/ (febuary 23th, 2014)?

It isn't about performance, but instead /dev/urandom is believed to be a poor source of entropy by the OpenBSD developers.

I believe the heart of the issue it that /dev/urandom will give you a string even if it has very low entropy at the time.

You can find all sorts of articles for and against /dev/urandom and I don't really know enough to comment on it's security, but I trust the that the team working on this fork more than I trust the OpenSSL foundation.

I actually agree this would be a great way to add capacity to the Tor network if implemented in the way described.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has thoughts on something like this or if anyone know if something like this has been attempted before.

the new gTLD's are pretty terrible though. I don't think the value of a good old .com domain is going to shift too much.

I agree this was a great call by the National Park Service, however I hope it does become a permanent ban- the only people using drones in the National Park should be Park Rangers.

Civilians have no place operating drones anywhere near a nature preserve.

What type of logic are you going to be changing every other week in the Datacenter?

What chillingeffect is saying (and I agree) is that this logic should be running on the cpu.

The biggest problem holding back adoption for 4k media is vendor lock in. You can't get 4K unless you're on a Sony/LG/Samsung "Smart TV".

There is not a legitimate technical reason why I can't watch House of Cards in 4K on my Seiki through my PC. I watched the trailer in 4K over a dozen times on YouTube.

Gamers want to play games on low input lag 4K screens from brands like Asus, Dell, Acer. 4K is much more easily justifiable when users can buy a single screen for their games and ultra-hd content.

Gaming PC's are about the only units with enough compute for highly compressed h.265 playback without built in hardware acceleration, so I don't understand why the market has not made this content accessible for me to purchase.
