I wasn't much older than 9 when I first used a computer, and certainly had root access (I guess that's what you'd call it, because the machine had no notion of multiple users).
There is already an A/B experiment of sort being run on ability of the "chemical detectors". There are lots of airports outside of US that do not have these capabilities. If there is no statistical difference between the terrorist attack incidence directly from the said chemicals then it would be an interesting data point to add to the study of security theatre.
It's worth pointing out that there's now a digitalocean pre-configured image with Docker.
Well, if he's a 60% shooter, then he has a 60% chance of making each shot. If he makes 10 in a row, then he's still 60% likely to make each of the next 3.

Your argument seems to be that everything is doomed to fail, but there's no reason why that should be true within a single generation of people.
Might I suggest you watch Fracknation.
While in general you're right, deer aren't a great example. Deer populations in much of the US are actually higher than they historically would have been, largely because predator populations have been artificially and dramatically constrained. Most deer predators, but especially gray wolves, are also livestock predators, which has justified their population control.
Sure, but at that point Apple could be held liable for knowingly selling the app (and why you assume Jobs is personally handling this, I have no idea). This is the way almost every content company works: when they receive a takedown notice, they comply. Whatever money Apple is making from the sales of the app pales in comparison to the amount of money the Times' lawyers could wring out of them. If this kind of thing became a problem that was significantly affecting the platform, they may need to step in, but for one-off cases they're not going to.

They're a publicly-traded business; they don't run on fairy dust and unicorn tears.
He has intentionally chosen to prioritize free time and freedom over cash-flow.

My read is completely opposite, he is sacrificing free time and freedom in order to obtain cash-flow. Specifically he is constraining himself to living within 10 miles of employement, and spend 2x as much time commuting to bicycle to work than take a car. He suggests spending time shopping, cooking, and cleaning to eating out (perhaps 2x the time of eating out, 10x time of fast food).

As with you I really can't argue that this is a wrong choice, but I will argue that this is not an honest argument. The cost of his frugality, in terms of time, is something never mentioned throughout the article.
Ah, the joys of grammatical ambiguity.
I think this points out a huge problem with the App Store. It shows that if a large company feels threatened by your app, all they have to do is send a legal threat to Apple and your app is toast.

If users were free to acquire software for their devices without Apple's interference, the authors would have the option to continue distributing the app and take their chances in court with the NYT.

Apple doesn't stand to lose much if they have to remove an app from the app store (even a top selling app), but they stand to lose a lot in a lawsuit. The cost of litigation might exceed what Apple stands to make on the app regardless of whether they win or lose a lawsuit. Therefore the App Store model gives companies leverage to destroy developers' apps and by extension to determine what kind of apps are available to users

Unless you have a rubbish backlight, I don't see how an LCD panel can flicker? (actually I can see why, turn of dynamic contrast, and crank the brightness up, turn off energy saving. That'll stop the PWN on the backlight)

The refresh rate of a panel is not what it can display, the only real practical effect is on screen tearing. (I worked for a VFX company, trust me I've tested it.)

Even really fast displays take 5 ms to get from grey-white-grey.
I wasn't quite precise, because there are cases where you do DHCPv6, but as Android doesn't support it the protocol is a bit dead in the water.

SLAAC the router gives you the 64 bit prefix and the host chooses its own 64 bit host address, which can be any address not already in use. With IPv4 you are typically assigned a single IP address via DHCP. While it is true that you are free to ignore the DHCP address assigned to your host and select something else on the same subnet, this is not typical. With SLAAC however it is the norm for the host to figure out its own address, and to leverage the enormous IP space available in IPv6 to change up their source address at will.

Filtering individual hosts by IP has always been leaky, but IPv6 makes it more or less impossible. You have to filter by subnet.

IPv6 does have some braindamage. SLAAC didn't have a way to communicate the local DNS server address to hosts, nor a way for hosts to update the DNS with their selected addresses and hostnames. This is something that has just worked in DHCP for decades and was completely ignored by the IETF. There was some handwaving about mDNS and anycasting but the actual protocol for doing the updates was never nailed down and it ignored the fact that multicast on wireless networks has always been fragile and plagued by hardware/driver issues.
For IPv6, the Internet routing table will never be split into more than 2^64 blocks, as a /64 is the general minimum BGP-announcable IPv6 block.

Regardless, I don't get your argument. Why would not being able to address all of a given address space be a bad thing? Isn't the whole point to have more address space than will ever by physically possible to need?
Elsewhere it was mentioned it was 90% sensitivity and 95% selectivity which is not that good enough for something serious as cancer. Hopefully they can improve on it.

The issue is not desperate ugly men. There's lots of handsome and wealthy men with poor morals and/or bad personality.
The wikipedia page on the UK's class system says it is mostly wealth and education, but you make this case for behavior and outlook, which I'm guessing you really mean is ideological. But really would like some clarification.
That is the ideal. But i dont see the home router nat going away. Infact in many ways it is a good thing every home has a nat/firewall going, removing that for ipv6 would be a step backwards. Better and more reliable upnp would be nice.
You take it all and then you have...
googler no longer works either. I went to use it and got no results. Since they just scrape the results page a layout change is probably going to break everything.

This issue was opened recently for it.

I recently changed my sleep cycle by a few hours. I bought a Zeo and started turning off the computer an hour before going to sleep. During that time I'd read, do some stretches, brush my teeth, meditate, take 3mg of melatonin, then go to sleep. When I wake up, I go out for a 20+ min run or go to the gym, then eat breakfast. I used to wake up anywhere from 10-12. Today I woke up at 6 and my alarm only needed to go off once. It's a Sunday, I had no reason to wake up so early but I'm doing it every morning now. My goal is to wake up at 5 every morning without the use of an alarm clock and without the melatonin. As far as I know I'm not suffering any negatives from the melatonin, though.

Here's my review of the Zeo: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1358589
Anything fried in duck fat is better :)

In fact, now that I think about it the only thing I do with my carefully hoarded supply is use it for frying and confit. I wonder how well it works for tasks that otherwise are better with lard (e.g. pastry pie crusts, etc.)

Ever use it in place of lard for a baking task?
Yeah I do need to execute some PHP. I'm giving rackspace cloud a try and then may move it to ec2 or a dedicated server if traffic slows down.
I'll throw my vote for Worcester Polytechnic Institute (http://www.wpi.edu) as a school that has a diverse undergrad CS program.

It also has a wealth of other engineering students (chemical, electrical, mechanical, and industrial) who are forced to co-mingle to avoid going outside in the awful Worcester winter.

Despite not being as well-known as some of the more famous engineering schools, in the years since going, I've run into a lot of really sharp folks who also went.

I'd at least recommend it as one to look into.
In the past, lots of scammy/spammy apps grew fast by bribing the user to invite all of their friends etc. But you have to grow pretty fast for FB to see this and delete you, I doubt anyone can replicate that growth now since lots of the viral features were removed. Seems like the only way to mass a huge audience is to buy it with FB ads.
CNET has a decent article on this. The special master is an unpaid agent of the court (usually a retired judge or law professor) who are not related to the case at hand. In this case, the special master will examine Chen's possessions for evidence related to the stolen iPhone and forward only that information to the presiding judge. Chen gets an opportunity to object to the gathered materials. Only whe that is done will the judge decide what the DA gets to have for his or her case.

(paraphrased from http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20006876-37.html)
My reasoning goes as follows :

Assuming "You can't install IE7 or 8 alongside 6"

You can virtualise Windows XP on Windows 7 and run both browsers. This alleviates pain and provides for legacy apps that rely on 6.

Of course, infinitely better to just ditch IE completely and the dependent apps, and simply write that off [amortizing against future pain]
Yeah, that's a really important distinction to keep in mind. I work a lot with crime data, and so people say things like "Oh, so you know all the best places to find drugs", when in reality what I know is the best places to get caught. Where people are committing crimes and where they are getting arrested may or may not be the same.
I've got no trouble getting up at 6-8 am. If left to my own devices, I get up quite a bit later, though. But never mind my actual sleep phase (or whether I sleep 6,8 or 10 hours), it still takes me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. So becoming a morning person isn't a good fix for everyone.

(and the "3 Guinness" method has its flaws in the long run.)
I agree. I'll get up in the morning, sit on the john and either add things to my NPR playlist (the NPR app is great- required download IMO) or read some news (or Hacker News), then listen to my playlist while I shower.

I haven't gotten in the habit of using it over my laptop for a lot of things, yet, but I think it will come. Just being able to lie in bed and watch something on NetFlix streaming, switch viewing positions, etc. is really convenient.

Wouldn't all this depend on your target customers? If your target customer is big business that have fast computers you are okay.

If your customers are average joes, then yes I would say you should have a test environment in place that closely represents those customers.

Even after all that the question I have is which set of customers brings in the most money for you? Lets say you have a mix of big business that run fast machines, and average joes that run slow machines. If 90% of your money comes from big business, why bother trying to make software for the slow machines? Just slap on a system requirement and it should cover them, so-to-speak.
Earthquake along the New Madrid fault. Almost nothing in the midwest is built with earth quakes in mind.
I suppose by "low-probability", tc means "unlikely to happen at any particular time, in any particular place".

Think serious car accidents: unlikely enough that most people never have one, yet many thousands happen each year. The effects can be devastating to the people involved, but everyone keeps telling themselves that "it won't happen to me", and many people forego actions that would decrease or mitigate their risk, or even engage in actions that increas it substantially.

I think the reason they listed Overhaul is they were going with the second definition:

"to come from behind and pass them"

I have never seen the word used this way...
Oddly enough the overabundance of foul language made me not want to continue reading after the second paragraph. It just wasn't funny. The guy didn't even use Comic Sans in this piece, which just makes the article an awkward, contrived write-up. Or was that the whole point? :)
The pricing issue seems to be very dependent on the application.

[Note: I am under the impression that Twilio charges $0.03/min for both outgoing and incoming calls -- is that correct?]

Across two projects which are 90% inbound calls (basically office PBXes with some simple voicemail/etc), I've been using VoicePulse for SIP origination/termination [1], with an Asterisk instance running on a web server VPS, since 2007. It's currently $13.95/month for one local phone number, with up to 4 simultaneous channels, and free inbound calls. Outbound US calls are typically about $0.015 to $0.020/minute.

Advantages: it's straight-up SIP (used to be IAX2), and has been working reliably for me for years. If I want to change SIP providers, I port my number and change a few lines in the Asterisk configuration file (but I've been happy with VoicePulse). And since I've got mostly incoming calls, I don't have to think about any usage costs there. Also, I can and do use standard SIP hardware phones over the internet as office phones, or use a software client -- I don't have to have it forward calls to another "real" phone with its own monthly charges.

Disadvantages: it is limited to 4 simultaneous calls (you can pay for more, though). This doesn't have any effect for my applications, but if you were trying to scale, I could see how it might. I don't get cool features like audio transcription. And I have to use Asterisk's less-than-straightforward logic for dialplans, etc.

At the end of the day, if I had to re-implement these two projects from scratch today, I would definitely consider Twilio for at least one of them. There may be an opportunity here for Twilio to capture recurring revenue from low intensity users: free inbound plus a larger monthly charge is a much more predictable bill for me, and to some degree I'm willing to pay more per month to be able to ignore incoming minute charges. That's a customer that consumes few resources but pays a non-trivial monthly subscription fee -- which is a customer I'd guess Twilio would like to have.

I'm glad that it did :) Not for traffic, but because it taught me two lessons:

1) Don't write a blog post within minutes of an emotional experience

2) Focus on "what I learned" not "what they did to me"

Fossil has a wiki, issue tracker, etc, all in a small little portable package - it's far more deserving of the 'swiss army knife' label than git. Git's more like an industrial lathe or something.
It should be illegal for any company to store my private information like this. The 'anonymous' sharing of my information is easily de-anonymized. Sites asking for your phone number for "security purposes" are a joke.

You just have to accept that absolutely everything you've done online is public information. If it isn't now, it is being stored and future tools / databases will make what is either difficult to access or difficult to interpret very easy to use in the future.

Chrome isn’t a “success” because of any technical work. It’s a success because Google hocked it on their home page.

How is Chrome anymore of technical success than other browsers?

As far as Android, it came out in the Oracle trial that it only made about $22 billion in profit during its entire existence and the entire ecosystem is still a mess as far as security and updates compared to Windows - ie where one company controls the operating system and licenses it to other OEMs.

Not to mention that the entire Android market is a profit less race to the bottom for all of the manufacturers.

All that being said, Google still derives almost all of its profit from ads compared to Apple, Microsoft and Amazon who have had far more success in introducing diversified products.

But if Google’s failures can be attributed to a lack of leadership, most of Apple’s current success wasn’t the result of the NeXT acquisition. It was the result of bringing its founder back.

But a "semantics of evil" was the point I was trying to bring to the fore. If the maximum local evil (e.g. in a person) is "zero good", i.e. the complete absence of good, then the greatest evil is a fixed value and doesn't seem subject to the same line of reasoning.

You are comparing a game that came out in 2005 for seven platforms - counting mobile - with one that came out in 98 for PCs/Macs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty_2) I think the game market in general was smaller then. A better comparison would have been Starcraft vs Counterstrike.

Starcraft II will have the same advantage that the Wii did by pulling in many adult gamers that spent hundreds and hundreds of hours playing the original game. I concede the point that the first person shooter Genre has always had a larger user base than the real time strategy genre but I still think that perhaps there could be a lot of demand for the RTS genre that has been marginalized in recent years as things have moved towards MMOs and the more modern FPS games. It will be interesting to see how it plays out and how blizzard is able to leverage their huge (paying) user base to market the this new release.

Weightlifting has changed my life, and I can totally recommend it. I aim to do it well into my older years, if I can.
That's great, but that's not how you approach security engineering.

It's like security through obscurity. Operationally it may have value, but you don't premise your security on such an approach.

Relying on a cost factor-based KDF is like relying on the grizzled machine engineer in the basement who keeps things humming along with wire and duct tape. Great if it works for you, but it's ridiculous to sit down at a table among engineers discussing design elements and say, "Hey, this is a crappy and fundamentally broken design, but I got guy who might be able to make it work for a little while."

Imagine if we "fixed" TLS AES-CBC or similar probabilistic active MITM leaks by simply running the AES-CBC cipher a few thousand additional times over each block, reducing the rate at which an attacker could iteratively reveal the plain text by rate-limiting throughput at the ends. It'd be a ludicrous proposal. Yet that's exactly what cost factor-based KDFs do.

At least for sites where I am expected to leave money (web shops) that would mean aggressive blocking of subdomains (just for security reasons).

I never cease to be astonished of stupidity. I can imagine that this tactic leads to all sorts of liabilities for the primary domain owner. Finally someone will deliver malware via this route.
Another rule to memorize: if one of the reasons for using code formatting is to preserve line breaks, simply add an extra blank line between paragraphs. Think of each line as its own paragraph. Then the text will be readable on any device.
> It’ll also work closely with Google, which opened an AI center in Beijing in December 2017. The Mountain View-based company is already involved in research at Peking University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and other institutions in the region.

Google is actively working with a government that is currently going full nazi on muslims in China. They’re not just buying and selling products in the stream of commerce, they’re partnering with and arming a hostile foreign dictatorship.

It’s a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there’s also systematic theft of U.S. technology that facilitates even faster development of emerging technology.”
I don't think "no one is being forced to do anything here" is justification for the unprecedented inequality and the existence of billionaires.

The Carbonaro Effect is interesting because it isn't telling the person ahead of time that they are performing a magic trick. The trick is to have them believe a serious proposition in a serious place.

I dislike that it's a lie to the person to start. I do magic because I love to do magic, and want to share my passion with you. I don't enjoy lying or deceiving you in a serious manner like that.
