You can get free standard SSL certificates from StartSSL - https://www.startssl.com

They also offer extended validation and other paid options. I use them for wildcard certificates, which are normally at least $200 each. I've created nine wildcard certs since January 1, for a total cost of $50.
Nice job.

I don't see a way to rename a playlist. Am I missing something?
Hmm, it's showing up as a blank playlist for me.
For app design, we use GlyphishPro
I have been in your position (the dreadful guilt of leaving the startup) before, so I suppose I can offer some advice.

1. End things on good terms. Do not say any thing which puts company/people in the bad light, when you are asked on the reason of leaving. In other words, avoid criticizing anything, even if you feel honestly about it.

Good relations go a long way. Also, the problems at "first" job, are most likely problems at "any" job. so dont be too harsh/negative on them.

2. This is kind of obvious, but since its your first resignation, I will speak out loud anyways. Resign in person. Do not resign over phone, or worse email. Thank them for all the opportunities you got there, things you've learned and fun you've had, and positive stuff you've had to say on for the job (Do not exaggerate, though). Do not say any negative stuff.

3. Give as much notice period to them, as they need, as much as possible (for reasonable time-frame of-course, You do not want to piss off the future employer/jeopardize your chances). Give them the opportunity to transition as seamlessly as possible.

4. Send a Thank you email to all the co-workers, on the last day of work.
I totally thought this was going to be about something else. :|

By far the most important thing is financing. There is a huge gap between bank lending and angel/VC's.
Behaves very strange in Opera, but I guess it's a very cool project.

The problem is: when a playlist is chosen it doesn't load, the page refreshes all the time.
Learning that something that you cannot see still exists usually occurs by 6 months of age, so I'm challenging the idea that this is a problem electronic music artists face.
I use VLC specifically so I can "cast" video to my TV.

It handles everything I throw at it, and is a good player, but until I bought the chromecast dongle I played all my media on my PC via xine and even now my muscle-memory is xine-centric.
If I'm not mistaken the IP rights still remains at the publisher + the original creator (The manga writer), and often the animation studio just do it as contract work. So I would guess the studio won't get a proportionate slice of the merchandising success.
Howso? We are just as able to use electricity in practical matters as we are chairs, arguably moreso. Our society at least understands electricity well enough to manipulate it very deftly. It seems the lack of understanding really isn't holding us back much.
Thank you for your reply. Your suggested solutions are not complete, however.

The status bar is not persistent.

Also, for whatever reason, the URLs displayed in the status bar are cut off with an ellipsis, even when they would fit inside the window.

The menu bar -- File, Edit, View, etc. -- is still not displayed. And when it is displayed, the keyboard accelerators are not. I do realize this is in part the window manager and OS's accomplishments.

By the way, most of the actions you described are not even possible without using the mouse. Firefox, and most desktop applications, used to be 100% accessible without using the mouse. (Mac has always been an exception, but it was covered 100% on Windows and close to complete on GNU.)
I said that Fossil has no patch-based workflow. You say few projects use it.

I said that it can't rebase. You say that I shouldn't rebase.

I said that the bug tracker was hard to use because it's last-wins, not DAG based, which is a problem for a distributed bug tracker (Trac is not distributed, so it doesn't need to be DAG-based). You respond that Fossil has a bug tracker.

In all these cases, you don't refute my points. You're merely arguing they're immaterial. As such, your accusations of FUD and name-calling seem strange and defensive. You're welcome to contend that Fossil does not need these features, but since many projects and developers that I work with use them heavily, I think it'd make more sense to discuss why they are unnecessary or wrong.
With only the word “coercion” to go on here, it’s quite difficult to understand your viewpoint. Is the sum total of your concern that cities are finding common ground with emissions activists? Will prohibitions of natural gas stoves in new buildings harm your livelihood? Are their faults in the emissions science that you feel aren’t being taken into account?

Tell us more of your story so that we can hear and listen to you.
I expect it is necessary to keep build configuration portable with respect to packaging and environment configuration. In other words, I expect downloading from URLs in Makefiles and CMakeLists to be a local maximum.

Keeping a parallel set of instructions or metadata that includes specific URLs and such might work, though. As long as you can skip all that when a system package, filesystem path, or git submodule is more appropriate.
Held accountable by whom? We didn't elect twitch.

Who decides who needs to be held accountable, and for what? Shouldn't that be the justice system?

Twitch mentioned proactively banning people who are arrested, without using the word 'convicted'. Which demographics is that likely to affect?
Alright well idk about Amazon. I've worked for a few FAANG but not Amazon. But Google, the topic of the article, is definitely a company where you can do a moderate amount of work for large amounts of money.
Gumroad offers that
It's insanely apt and spot on. I'm going to be using it from now on.
By range, I meant the amount a non-athletic person might use for commuting.

Most people can easily go 20 miles on an electric bike, but have difficulty going 20 miles on a normal bike.

Also Rad power bikes are in the ~$1000 range and are great!
I really enjoyed the read, thank you!

You're system architecture is very clean and understandable. I spend a lot of time marveling at the beautiful but often overly complex diagrams on r/homelabs, which more often than not dissuade me from actually having a go at it. Your explanation made it feel very approachable.

That being said...
> Some people think I’m weird because I’m using a personal CRM.

This strikes me as incredibly...German, hahaha! Is there any reason your Contacts solution doesn't/can't provide this functionality?
That's true of passwords over a certain strength, for sure. And it always has been; "6ab$TRa?" has never been counting on the difficulty of hashing for security, and probably won't for some time.

But as computing power increases, that minimum strength is being pushed out. bcrypt lets us hold the line by keeping pace with computing power— couldn't it also give us the ability to push back?

How many users are using the 100,000 most common passwords? 1,000,000? As it stands today, anyone using one of those is instantly compromised the moment the hash file is accessed. With a truly variable work factor, you could theoretically ensure the safety of any password, regardless of strength.

It obviously gets silly toward the far end (make "password" take three months to hash?) And maybe it gets silly a lot sooner than I'm thinking. But surely it could be pushed back a little, yes? Make one of those 1,000,000 passwords intractable, and you're protecting thousands of users from attack.
I have trouble understanding the term 'adjusted US Monetary Base', is it m0, m1, or m2?
Love the idea but I am not really liking the design. The background color is off putting to me for some reason and I don't like the side menu. If you want the menu to be there when the user scrolls down just have it fixed.

The video is way longer then it needs to be. Make it shorter and more straight forward.
I don't see Bitcoin itself as "irrational exuberance" at all, in fact quite the opposite. It's attempting to solve a real world problem.

A lot of people I've heard promoting Bitcoin (n.b. these are not analysts) gloss over or outright ignore the more pressing real world problem of being able to spend it on the things you want/need. The solution I hear most often is "convert it to USD."

It looks like we're left with two possible outcomes. Either adoption grows large enough soon enough that converting to USD (or another currency) is no longer a necessary step in using BTC for most transaction, or people get bored/tired of waiting for that time to come and decide to cash out. The latter is the proposed bubble pop scenario, where people decide that they would much rather have some currency other than BTC, and are progressively willing to trade their BTC for less and less other currency. As for its implications, I'm not too worried. I'd expect the worst thing that could come out of it would be increased difficulty in getting similar projects to succeed in the future.
I don't think so. What the calculator does is simply (((10 * 10) + 10) * 10) like a basic pocket calculator.
Does this mean that out of the 5000 false positives, 10 people will actually GET cancer by doing a follow-up CT exam?
Why doesn't it sound right? Just look at the chart in the article: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/15044/3970X%20Power%20Grap...

The power limit is configured in the BIOS, and can be disabled, but with these massive chips they default to throttling down and capping power consumption so that you aren't forced to go crazy with the cooling system (and motherboard and PSU capacity).
Nice try, mortal
Also, the discovery of DNA fulfilled a prediction by Darwin's theory of evolution: that there had to be a mechanism by which traits were passed on to the next generation. It's something that made sense within the paradigm of the time, and it fit the observations.

Heliocentrism made sense on some level, but not on another, and it didn't fit the observations of the time. Only when Kepler made a model that fit observations, and Newton's theory of gravity explained why it had to be that way, did heliocentrism made scientific sense and was geocentrism obviously wrong.
From the thread: 90 ^ 5 combinations, that would take quite a bit of time doing it manually ;-)
No more years! No more years!
Political party affiliations are set during voter registration, which in some states can occur at the same time as getting a driver's license. (Setting a party affiliation gets you a ballot for that party's primaries.) So it'd all be in the same DMV form and the end result is a drivers license and registered voter. Party affiliation is generally public information (search for it).
How to find one (two): The temperature at the spot (B) on the other side of the world from you (A) is either the same (Finished) or different. If different, head towards B, (any direction is fine!) and at some point before you get there and the A vs B temperatures are swapped, the two will be the same. Since the direction you go doesn't matter, evidently there's a path "around the world" where this true, not just a point! (Ok, just a point if they're initially the same.)
In addition to CERN, the LSST is expected to generate 15 terabytes per day.
I don't think anyone says it's impossible - just extremely counter-intuitive.
Hong Kong incorporation is easy and not expensive. Tax regulations are interesting, too.

> Strong guarantees of privacy are essential to enable political dissent.

Sure.

The established political class - in particular, the UK House of Lords - might not find political dissent desirable.
The problem with databases that are 50tb or more is that you soon run into limits with the relational model. I have been reading up on different modeling techniques for converting relational models into cassandra's column family stores.
It's double-edged though; go to Google to google for something. Buy Kleenex (it's the original and best kleenex). Sure, long-term it dilutes the trademark, but effectively removing any future need to explain what your product is, what its benefits and uses are, to permenantly attach your name to a certain type of thing, is too good an opportunity to not take up, given the chance
If women are actually, objectively, less productive workers (if your explanation is correct), why is it wrong for companies to pay them less?
I don't think it was a teaching job...really low teaching loads at Harvard. More of a research job.

I'm curious as to what drives the creation of this multitude of add-blocking projects? What is their income model and what supports their development?
This isn't rocket science. My Audi (and BMW before that) have nice clean digital displays of predicted miles remaining based on driving history, tank capacity, and measured fuel consumption. Turns out 'How far can I go?' is a better metric than 'About how much of a tank is left?'.
Well they say the next version of the windows phone will include some ability to write some html 5
Yeah I think the people hoping for Assange to get POTY were mistaking Time for a newsmagazine that mattered.
Using a font in an image does not involve distributing the font file, while using it as a web font (sometimes) does.
Sorry, but the only thing more painful to read and edit than pure regular expression syntax is string-escaped regular expression syntax. I still cringe when I remember writing this in C and Java.
This gets to a critical question about incubators -- what is the value you actually get from the process? (the followup is, how does it compare to what was promised?) As you point out, "You go through it because it's good for your company," and that mainly means meeting the right people and figuring out where your company is going.

Martin, was YC ultimately good for your company even though Rapportive was in a different stage than your batchmates? Would you do it again?
I had a professional development class in college where A, B and C players were defined. "A player" meant you would shoot-for-the-moon, process be damned. You would be a constant source of disruption. That can work in the short term, but a sustainable business is not build with only "A players". Building products and services, and especially supporting them, takes work that "A players" don't want to do. You need "B players" for day-to-day work. They can range from excellent at their work to just competent. "C players" are the ones who nobody wants, incompetent and/or interpersonal disasters.

The Netflix stance of only hiring "A" people is obviously does not work with this definition. If you get 2000 "A players" together for more than a short time, your organization will fall apart. Everyone would try to get to the top and make the company follow their vision. If they can't, they will move on sooner than later.
While looking at wiki isn't going to make you an expert, basing your opinion on a wiki article isn't exactly the worst thing in the world to do.
I have the smaller kindle and I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of technical ebooks that read nicely on it (they have to be .mobi though as pdf are not nearly as pleasant). I've also found that I now prefer ebooks on my laptop for any exercise heavy reading. For example right now I have half my screen devoted to emacs+slime and the other have to 'land of lisp', I've found this much better than trying to balance a print book and a laptop. I still need/prefer print books in certain situations, but I'm happy with the shelf space this saves. Also don't forget that you permanently have multi-format, drm-free access to O'Reilly ebooks.
I wasn't trying to troll, was just disappointed. The original title was:

Chevy Volt fails hyped 230mpg and only gets 93/37mpg

That's valid because they didn't just get a 230mpg rating - they advertised the heck out of it, it was everywhere.

Then they quietly release this 93/37 rating the day before Thanksgiving when the news is asleep and people are distracted elsewhere.
That's really nice work John - thanks!
Web content is supposed to render properly on multiple engines. We shouldn't be encouraging a monoculture of webkit.
I was also working in AI in the late 80s and 90s, but in a lab that loved the neural network side of things. I decided pretty quickly that the biological inspiration for NNs was more marketing than useful. The more interesting developments were being done with Bayesian stuff (at least there was a mathematical theory behind the performance).

FWIW, I ended up doing my PhD on Genetic Algorithms / Genetic Programming : where the biological inspiration (and understanding) works both ways (IMHO).
This rings so incredibly true to me.

Bundle solutions seem to offer more issues than they offer simplicity. Like you, I own a ~30 year old amplifier which does only does a few simple things thing: running my speakers, switching between two inputs, and supplying power to my PS3 (bluray player).

The two inputs are my TV and 3.5mm audio jack (for phones), my TV handles digital input, namely my PS3, my laptop, a RaspPi, and eventually a Chromecast when I get around to it.

My laptop makes my TV an audio visualisation screen (Project M), a Netflix screen (Chromium-Pipelight), a YouTube screen (Chromium/Minitube). A multipurpose media screen, without any smart-TV'esque clunkiness.

Chromecast is one of those things that is either purposely or coincidentally replicating this kind of setup for a more average user. You can use your tablet (extremely practical) to do pretty much everything I described above. Once again I find Google trying to be my (huge and scary) buddy, instead of hugging me to death by ecosystem lock-in. (Yes, I see the irony of Android with that statement.)

The 2013 NOVA episode "Earth From Space"[1] gives a really good explanation of how these conveyor belt currents work, and has some beautiful computer generated graphics that depict the microcurrents in the oceans that they're able to build because of the data collection from satellites. I re-watch it every couple years, and this story prompted me to start watching it again just now.

Wow, overtaking Frankfurt... Can't fault the traders, it is a much nicer city.
The way you originally stated the problem was to pick a number between 1 and 100, so 0 wouldn't even be an option, and 1 is probably the pareto optimal strategy (proof left as an exercise for the reader, etc.).

But then you probably still have to account in your strategy for estimating the proportion of people who will reason to infinite degree and estimate 1, as well as the proportion who will reason to an infinite degree and misread the rules, and guess 0...
I had no idea what Griddy was, and after glancing at the website, I assumed it was a failed tech startup. I’ve never seen a utility company with such a modern website and design language before.
Wikipedia disagrees with you: “On February 15, during the power crisis, the state's Public Utility Commission required ERCOT to set the price to the $9,000 maximum. The commission reasoned that the trading prices for energy (as low as $1,200) were inconsistent with the supply scarcity.”
No. I'm just passing by.
I assume that you're buying straight from the suppliers instead of through the many-tiered energy brokerage that is used down here.
The price ceiling is/was always set, it wasn't created in the middle of last week.

Pinning the price to the maximum as a last-ditch effort to try to force producers online is what they did last week.
It's a good idea if you have a whole-house generator giving you optionality. Even running on diesel, it's only like 50 cents per kWh vs $9/kWh. If you chop off the most expensive part of the curve, wholesale can save you a lot.

It might be a good idea for whole-house generator companies, actually: offer your customers the same thing as Griddy except with the option of automatically switching to your generator if rates get insane. It's actually good for everyone as it reduces grid power consumption.

In fact, I want to see a grid-connected solar/battery/inverter with a dual-fuel (natural gas/propane) generator that feeds into the inverter/charger and then possibly into the grid. That'd be sweet.

A wholesale-only Griddy company could avoid the negative publicity if they only sold to folks with backup power options.
You'd be astounded how many sites break when you turn off cookies.

I'm not just talking "can't log in"/"add to cart" break (obvs), but like, fail-to-catch-the-exception-thrown-by-localStorage-in-render()-so-completely-blank-white-page break.

https://sneak.berlin/20200211/your-website/

Now I work around the terrible exception-throwing behavior of localStorage by leaving cookies on, but using the Cookie Autodelete extension.
Cool, mesmerizing, innovative! Love it!
These firmware variants allow it to replace far more expensive devices. It's also quite small and requires little power.

I personally use an WRT54GL hardware to offer public internet access to folks at a coffeeshop. Here is what this $69 USD (when i bought it) device helped with.

Public Wireless - The range covers the entire store and the outdoor seating area. Here we mention terms of service and "beg" them to buy something with captive portal software.
I'm not really sure how many clients it can handle, but it certainly meets the need.

Public Terminals - It serves up PXE boot images to 3 netbooted terminals. They run the Linux Terminal Server Project software.

It also makes it easy to set up firewalls, QOS, and anything else you might do with any other Linux box.

I think it's a great deal for $69 USD. This same device
has been running for > 4 years!
Me, I'm a Google fan so the Galaxy Tab running Froyo (Android 2.2) is always going to be a winner unless you want to get seriously into iPad synthesizer aps (where it has a huge advantage currently). Ultimately, though, it comes down to deciding what you want it FOR. Games and sound aps? You'll need an iPad. eReading, techy geek stuff, reading news / Google integration? Gotta go with the Android.
QoS (prioritize your ssh packets over your netflix stream over your http reqs); ssh server (so that you can have a SOCKS proxy to connect to from public Wifi); VPN endpoint; VOIP SIP proxy (to do fancy routing of SIP calls).

I'm pretty sure you can install a web browser and serve up static content from a consumer NAS too.

Basically, it lets you do a large subset of what you would be able to do with an always-on computer, but without burning all that power.
Well, yes. If you can socially engineer customer support staff, you can do the same to venture capitalists.
I had a merchant use the numbers on paper method in 2017.
I think the media portraying the BLM riots as mostly peaceful tells you the intense fear many journalists have, because of the possibility they would be labeled a racist.
I'm not aware of a good solution to this currently, but it's a space I'm very interested in. The main problem is that the devices most people use these days (phones and laptops) are constantly being connected and disconnected from networks. So even if you solve the software problem and make a nice GUI program for your grandma to use which automatically handles TLS certs and tunneling, if she closes her laptop her blog goes down.

I think the way to do this may be to ship services as Android apps. Imagine something like self-hosted Google Drive that you install as an app on an old Android phone. After install you go through a quick OAuth2 flow to connect it to a subdomain and open a tunnel, and now you have 64-128GB of e2ee cloud storage. Just plug the phone in and leave it in a corner.

This concept can be applied to Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Plex, your grandma's blog, etc.
