It looks open right now to me (with one vote to close).

For what it's worth, I think we should discuss people's views today. A lot has changed since the leaks first surfaced.

I agree here. Be a good steward of your commits, and let `rebase -i` be your tool for that. A bunch of "err, try this instead" should be washed away, but it doesn't help to commit "Add Huge Feature" +10,000/-2,

Sure, but you'd imagine that if security personnel are called in, they are expected to spend at least a few minutes noting down what occurred in the incident. "They looked at the paper he was writing on" is very different fro

Just for perspective, 12 million users (assuming this is US-based) is 3.7% of the US population in aggregate. This is an even higher percentage of Uber's US user base (probably by a factor of 10 or 20).

Yes, the OP here [0] says that the query was one that was generated from ruby's ActiveRecord. Clearly, removing the sort clause would speed up this query. I believe the issue (from the ruby perspective) is using ActiveRecord's `Us

Tl;dr (opinion of author): the Senate waives its right to affirm or reject a Court nominee by not acting in a reasonable amount of time, at which point the President can appoint the nominee. This is certainly an interesting legal theory. It

Well, this could be a case of fair use. You're using New York Times' trademark to discuss a certain aspect of the company (they wrote an article on this topic). That could fall under the "News Reporting" exception itself

But could it support 7 lanes? (This is a somewhat serious question)

I think the argument is that this a scheme clearly setup to flout the law. If those haikus kept going by a business exec until an associate should sell the company's stock, would that be an acceptable way of insider trading?

Well, isn't proper authentication a solution in and of itself? Using keys with pass phrases or requiring sudo to publish would theoretically mitigate this issue.

Without a good ident guide, I never quite know if I'm at a top-level comment or a second-level comment.

To all the top level comments about browser extensions, I want to use HN on mobile without an app. It's not possible due only to collapsibility. Comments sections are effectively top-comment-only.

On the other hand, no one can reclaim a tweet after it's been yanked. So, `require from tweet` is a safer system for your production systems.

It's even cooler since you could even do this retroactively if you had the original footage of the dubbing voice actor.

Never heard it stated that way. Can you elaborate on "the smallest possible distance is Plank's length"? Is that the smallest observable distance?

On the employee side, I think the alternative is Two week's notice. Not exactly "slaves," but with some structure for how to resign.

Also, don't safes purposefully leave soft spots to make it possible to get in without the code (i.e. for when a person forgets the code)? If so, aren't those analogous to the backdoors we're concerned about for phones?

Easy is relative to the experience. If we're talking (26+26+10)^100 versus (26+26+10+10)^100, the difference is moot in terms of brute-forcing the password. However, the inability to double click select, to paste in to chat rooms, etc

I suspect most whitehat researchers would be happier to report this vulnerability and make a nice legal reward, then delve into a black hat market for selling a vulnerability. Seems pretty win-win in this case.

To this day, I find to hard to call Clapper's response anything but a direct and intentional lie. I do hope in a post-Snowden world, officials will be more careful not to lie under oath to Congress.

I feel you're right that, at the end of the day, prohibition has been based on public opinion. That said, the government does benefit from reasons OP mentioned, and thus politicians may be likely to push an agenda that strongly support

Plus, the families of victims are often discussed in murder cases. It doesn't change the ability of the government to prosecute, but it's informative to the feelings of those most effective.

To be fair, Lavabit was out of compliance with legal government orders (they had access to accounts but was withholding on moral grounds). Forcing Apple to hand over "the keys to the kingdom" so as to forge software on their behal
