i guess this is the actual section they talk about:

(i) Sell any new motor vehicle directly to a retail customer other than through franchised dealers, unless the retail customer is a nonprofit organization or a federal, state, or local government or agency. This subdivision does not prohibit a manufacturer from providing information to a consumer for the purpose of marketing or facilitating the sale of new motor vehicles or from establishing a program to sell or offer to sell new motor vehicles through franchised new motor vehicle dealers that sell and service new motor vehicles produced by the manufacturer.

So i'd wager there'd be quite a few celebrity dick picks available too if hackers wanted them. We know men like to send them unsolicited, and I'm sure those celebrities had received more than a few. But there are none. And why? Because those women were specifically targeted by people with a lot of resources and patience. (it's important that they were targeted specifically for being women).

To all of you idiots blaming the victims out there right now "should have used 2fa, should have used stronger passwords":

1. You don't know if 2FA was in place, you don't know what strength the passwords were.

2. Again: those women were highly targeted. Can you defend yourself if someone takes a week/month long project to break into your phone? (Also this was during heartbleed and other big vulnerabilites)

Come off your bullshit high horse. Don't blame the victims here.

if your comment is intented to mean 'foreigners are coming over stealing our jobs', feel free to leave it as it is. Otherwise, you might wanna rephrase what you wrote..

Iceland had 0.00021 UNHCR refugees per capita in 2013. same number for sweden was 0.0097 (almost 50x). I think its fair to say that iceland could take a bigger reponsibility internationally. As a small country they cant carry a major reponsibility (and remember that the biggest refugee countries are mostly neighbouring countries of conflicts: pakistan for example) but they could definitely do more.

hey there! kudos for the simple explanatory, no-sound, no-parse-style-hollywood production videos! this is one of the examples where autoplay makes a lot of sense, and it's very easy to get a grip of what i can do with your product. Good job!

This is some really good UI code. You're storing the state in a very clear way and do the geometry calculations in one place, making it easy to understand what's going on. Nice!

I understand where you're going here: pubsub communication can be both a blessing and a curse, it can be hard to ensure a consistent usage, hard to debug when there's long chains than one place -> the other.

I think the sandboxing from aura.js is pretty interesting here, since you can always look up which widgets are allowed to talk, it makes it easier to narrow down the problem.

What I think is interesting to see, is that the patterns from Nicholas zakas' "scalable Javascript architecture" spreads into new frameworks.

Enforcing components w/o return values, communicating via pub/sub is also seen in aura.js and backbone marionette. I think this thinking will lead to more stable, easy to change js apps. Exciting!

I second "writing a thumbdrive from scratch"! There's much more to it than it sounds like. Travis talks for example about the possiblity of the drive being able to fingerprint the system it's mounted on, recognizing it's 'home' machine. From there he suggest counter measures like recognizing an indexing process by the read patterns and have the drive erase itself, or giving a different checksum every time the content is hashed.

I'm getting very tired of hearing this. It's like we make up excuses for startups being dicks. There has to be a way to find business model that involves showing respect for your users and the content they're creating, while still making money on ads, offers, etc.

It also completely ignores the fact that paying customers get ripped off all the time, by the companies they pay money to. In the wider perspective, being a dick doesn't seem to correlate to receiving money from your user-base.

Here's an excellent text about it: http://powazek.com/posts/3229

Very nice! Though the API of Box2d is a little bit hairy, i really appreciate how stable it is. We built a DOM-based game/ad-thingee with Box2d this spring (http://embassy.de/game/) and using a game + physics engine (CAAT was the game engine) and relative measures was also a pretty good way to make it scale across window sizes!

While I agree with a lot of your points; in 1962 a lot of people in us/europe went abroad once or twice in their lifetime. Now, many go twice a year.

Wouldn't need so much. The sidebar could say 'founder of app.net' instead of the machismo bullshit that's there now.

scaringly fun, just lost 15 minutes here :)

I'm super interested in this! Any code examples you can point to?

Good that you asked, I went and checked this and my german bank actually let me do this now. This was referencing a thing a couple of years back with a Swedish bank.

Note: i live in europe, have no experience w. american banks.

Whenever i've had pain with my banks, it's always been revolving around exceptions, and not everyday business like paying the bills. Examples of 'pain with the bank' for me has been malfunctioning cards, accounts that are not hooked up to online banking, the bank having the wrong address for me, etc. Essentially: problems that currently can't be solved online with the mainstream banks.

It's gonna be very interesting to see if banksimple/simple can do something about making these things easir to deal with.

considered brokep from the pirate bay is heavily involved in flattr, i'm a little bit disappointed the site went down

Here's an interesting example with <img srcset> http://junkyard.damowmow.com/507

When I saw the last line in the doc linked above, I realized that <img srcset=""> is probably optimized for adding one (1) "retina" image for iPhones and other high-DPI devices.

I think those things are super-fun! You always learn something :) Discovered this super-simple "partial" pattern while doing the "functions" part: https://gist.github.com/2375986
