Wow, the writing on this site is amazing.

He's a fan of HHGTTG (http://stilldrinking.org/the-fizzbuzz-from-outer-space-expla...), of course, wrote a conversational piece with some hilarious lines (http://stilldrinking.org/waiting-for-doctor-who), and explained why programming is all of the best parts of art and engineering and project management combined (http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks), and a very nice and even-handed eulogy for Fred Phelps (http://stilldrinking.org/a-letter-from-fred-phelps)...

This is really some of the best writing I've seen online in a long time.
That first article is hilarious.
I've had a very positive experience with elasticutils. It provides filtering syntax very similar to Django ORM filters.
When I use a VPN the measurable ping might go down but the noticeable ping goes up. There's always a barely-perceptible delay when doings things like using voice typing.
Corporate tax rates are way lower but personal income tax rates are significantly higher. So if he pays all of that money as salary to himself, that 50% number is quite realistic.
This type of promotion is a great idea if you run a service that businesspeople pay money for. Especially if said service is tons better than the entrenched Enterprise Thing in its niche.

Roughly 100% of the students you give free licenses to will one day be sitting in a room full of people wearing ties, trying to, for example, get WebEx to work at all so that they can get on with the big call. It's costing them $1000 per minute to have the Director of Finance messing with the computer, and if Bright Kid chimes in saying "why don't we just use this simple conference thing we used in school. It always just works", then you've more than paid for the free license you gave that kid all those years ago.

It costs you nothing to do. It gains you goodwill, marketing, future sales, and a ton of other side benefits. If you sell stuff to businesses, absolutely do this.
Hysteria? I think it was shockingly calmly written, given the circumstance.
I don't think they're useful for variable names, but I use them (very sparingly) in comments. A great way to spot what needs refactoring is to find the piece that caused the most frustration to the author. Under a tight deadline, apologies to future maintainers can also be helpful in injecting some levity.
This is what's frustrating about trying to have discussions with you. You say "answered" and then provide your opinion on the matter. Spewing out your opinion on something isn't "answering" anything. It's, at best, painting a picture of a possible scenario.

You may think owning your own development platform is overrated but you haven't demonstrated that at all and not everyone agrees. Worse you go on with this controversial opinion and built an entire alternative universe based on it. Are you a writer for the Enquirer or something?
So what's the point of using github if you don't notice it's offline?
Just everyday normal people living their lives and going out of their way to help each other and support greater causes.

To me, this increases trust in humanity!
It's not that hard apparently: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-xp-leak-confirmed-afte...
I routinely run my chromebook out completely out of battery charge, and it never has any issue charging with USB-C.
I'm not disputing your experience, just pointing out that I use a laptop from Lenovo (albeit a Galaga Pro), and have not had any of this. The WiFi and Zoom issues I can definitely say have not impacted me; I cannot honestly say I've tried wired networking with it very much. The battery life has also been fine.

Again, not disputing your experience, just saying mine was different. It was a Galaga Pro vs. your Lemur Pro, but I would have thought the software issues would be more similar than that.
And msft sales knew how to sell cloud because they’ve been selling AD and office?
> Microsoft already had the enterprise sales team, they had to learn how to sell cloud.

They also had to grit there teeth and embrace Linux, which would have never happened if Ballmer was still there. There is just no demand/need for Windows only cloud offering. You want to be in cloud? You better embrace Linux.

A solid project with very little visibility – I, for one, heard about it only with this post!

Good luck to Luca and the Lotus team in 2015!
First, I'd emphasize that Google absolutely has to win the TV battle with Apple and other would be contenders. To do this, I'd force my way out of the TV content logjam by buying a content provider, much like Comcast's buying of NBC. Otherwise, any effort in changing the game in the TV domain can easily be dynamited by cable operators.
This assumes that politicians actually have beliefs. While I'm sure that some do, I'm also sure that some of them -- especially after years of being bribed with money -- vote in ways that're indistinguishable from how they would vote if they were trying to maximise their wealth and power.
I don't know why this is so surprising, 99% of the websites and apps I see don't use SSL for login, even HN doesn't. It's good that this issue is getting more attention, but to specifically call out Instagram for it makes it seem like what they're doing isn't the industry norm.

Looking at the TC comments it seems like a lot of people are confused by the difference between sending your password in cleartext, and storing your password in cleartext, although I wouldn't be surprised if they're storing your tumblr and foursquare credentials in the clear.
"according to Dutch paper De Telegraaf, Woz said that "Android phones have more features," which would help Google's OS become the dominant smartphone platform."

Not exactly the most reliable source. De Telegraaf is the Dutch equivalent to the National Enquirer.

That would be Tim Stryker, a true genius and a friend of mine, who sadly succumbed to deep mental illness in the 90's.

My company, Magicomm, built add-ons and did deep custom modifications of the GC codebase.
What I've been surprised to learn after leaving school is how important it is for code to be stylistically sound: programmers should be as thoughtful about the structure, readability, and conventions of their code as professional writers are of their prose.

This was something that didn't dawn on me until reading Matz's philosophy of "programmer happiness" when designing Ruby. Code seems sterile, something that you just put into place in a logical manner until it works...in small class projects, you don't realize the mental toll it can be to read through a messy code base...But being unhappy about a monolithic, massive codeebase is easy...the problem is tha when working on small projects, you don't notice the mental tax of unclear code that can drain your happiness and productivity.

It took a long time of professional coding for me to realize how much thoughtful design of code could make me a happier coder, just like the adept use of language contributes to happier communication in all other areas of life
In rare instances patents allow keen individuals to cash in with their skill and grit. Most of the time this does not happen.

With companies, they are generally happy selling the old stuff with lipstick since it's easier, rather than innovate.

I would claim that for businesses with less than astronomical R&D budgets trademarks and brands are far more valuable than patents, while patents act mostly as an outside markets legal leverage (i.e they provide a big stick against competitors but the only effect it has on customers is a slightly higher price).
They just cloned the list of SANs in the standard Google certificate, which YouTube also uses.

Captive WiFi portal (or some sort of traffic-shaping) is likely the right answer, as the other poster above points out.

Given that the issuer is an internal IP I'm pretty sure they are just proxying HTTP(S) requests, grabbing the remote certificate, duplicating the subject and signing it, allowing them to on-the-fly MITM any HTTPS traffic. Trying this with a different HTTPS site will easily show this, I don't think they're specifically targeting Google directly.

Flask likely requires Jinja2 because they're both made by the same team. http://www.pocoo.org/team/#armin-ronacher
I've personally seen "senior devs" who literally couldn't program a for loop in any language of their choice. Let's put it this way: would you hire someone without a technical interview?

Most companies hire to minimize false positives, not false negatives. It's far better to overlook a good candidate vs. fire a bad one. (The hassle, the headache, litigation, project is delayed, etc.)
I believe Chris Hedges described this, as I remember the term he applied to your system was Inverted Totalitarianism.
I've used SSH on mobile devices, on both iOS and Android, and I wouldn't describe either experience as pleasant - at best it felt like pulling teeth. This is mainly because of the small screen (80x25 would feel like a blessing on a phone) and the terrible keyboard.

Maybe a physical keyboard would be better, but I doubt it. On a desktop or a laptop I type in SSH just about as quick as I can think (sometimes faster :p). On a phone, it's way slower, and when I can type quick enough, the latency over wireless networks is slow enough to make it tiresome.
However the censorship laws in China only apply to messages that try to gather people for public group actions. Messages critical of the government and vocal of discontent are entirely allowed and not subject to censorship. Even group forming messages that support the government are censored. See this study done at Harvard for details: http://gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/censored.pdf

With regards to the freedom to protest, the US government has its own mechanisms to unfurl public group action.

Apple still cooperates with law enforcement and can give access to almost all data which you might 'infer' from reports are protected. Please find details from Apple's report here: https://ssl.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide_Oct_2...

Also remember the removal of Apple's Warranty Canary. It's also interesting to note that were Secure Enclave manufacturers compromised or to collaborate with law enforcement (giving access to UUIDs mapped to each device) the whole scheme is caput.

I am wondering if you can provide a quick primer on who you've not voted for and will not be voting for that supports surveillance.

Delphi was even at one time a part of GM, it was spun out as an independent company in the 1990s (I guess the company and GM division would not entirely overlap, but whatever).
Denver office? Sounds like someone recruited a few Pivotal Labs alumni :)
Ok, so long-term participants aren't new anymore.

What's much more interesting is the death of the "long tail service" which attracted so many to these services in the first place: the implicit promise that their goal was to provide _everything_ in their catalogs, meaning you could give up buying media outright because they'd have & host whatever you could want. ...then others saw how very much money Netflix et al were making, and either raised their licensing costs/terms or made their own streaming services focused on some feature other than "long tail".
As if the fax machine didn't have a huge impact.
IMO, this potentially opens up Facebook Inc. to securities fraud lawsuits. Corporate executives by default have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder returns. They don't have to abide by this, but if they take material action towards other goals, then they must clearly disclose it in public communications. (E.g. a non-profit company can't pretend that it's not to potential investors.)

It's pretty hard to justify how banning Trump benefits shareholders. Without a doubt, his precense drives user engagement and therefore ad revenue. There's no credible threat of boycott. It's pretty clear executives made this decision in the interest of democracy rather than maximizing shareholder returns. Facebook has never disclosed this consideration on its SEC filings. Therefore under American corporate law, that opens up management to liability.

I'm not taking a stance whether this is good or bad. But I do think that politically motivated security fraud lawsuits against Twitter and Facebook are eventually inevitable. Not least because political opponents will heavily subsidize the plaintiffs, even if the case doesn't look likely to win.
I think you may be confusing the US Capitol Building in DC with the Capitol Hill area of Seattle.
More accurately, and interesting:

One group perceives widespread (their word 'systemic') racism -- the reality is that is isn't widespread, at all. Yet, they riot.

Another group perceives widespread election fraud -- the reality is that is wasn't widespread, at all. Yet, they riot.

It's all freedom of speech, except for the violence and destruction, right?
Why is it announced from Zuckerberg's profile page and not from the official Facebook page?
No that hasn't been done by the left before as far as I know.
What i know though is that last summer the BLM protests were burning buildings and looting business, if that's not violence I have no clue what the hell is.
You don't wait for a violent consequence you prevent it. In classical realism or game theory you prepare your defenses according to what your adversary COULD do, not what you think they're going to do. Any and all pushback against giving tech companies the power to do something awful they haven't done yet and may never do is justified. You don't just roll over and say "oh, don't worry, it'll be fine they'd never do that."
> they've silenced the second-most voted for President in American history, because he isn't their brand of politics

1. The second - and third, for that matter - most voted for President is Obama (69.5 and 65.9M votes). Trump is the fourth (62.9M votes)[1].

2. He was not banned because he wasn’t ‘their brand of politics’, he was banned for inciting violence against the terms of those platforms. You can certainly argue Twitter and Facebook had - and have - a very inconsistent enforcement approach for those policies. But that’s not what you are saying.

The State department tried to ban the exchange of digital plans for very simplistic, rudimentary 3d-printed pistols under ITAR regs. It was an over-reaction to an exaggerated fear that everyone could print guns out of plastic now, and I think the last administration (Trumps') finally revoked the rule. You can, in fact, print a gun out of plastic that will work, but it may be cheaper and more effective to build one out of parts from home depot if you're so inclined.

For the most part it's always been legal to build a firearm for your own use (not to sell - that would be regulated under the Fed's commerce powers). Some states make it more burdensome than others. Making a high quality anything requires skill, but guns are very primitive mechanical devices, so the bar is very low to make something of effective working order. You won't be hitting a gong at 1000 yards, but you'll hit a pie plate at 20 pretty easy.
fewer government jobs, but highly paid. Singapore does this in order to compete with the private sector and reduce corruption.
I fear mentioning this because it could turn into a flame war, but this is somewhat related. French leaders and politicians are now concerned that USA "wokeness" threatens the stability of their country[1]. It's a really difficult topic to address because it involves contentious racial issues, but we really need to find a way to talk about it while avoiding the bickering.

I fear that if we don't find a way to put a stop to this, anti-white and anti-male discrimination will be fully accepted in the near future, which would be absolutely terrible for our society.

Nice usage!

At my place, I have a group ("Gate") set up in Google Voice which forwards the number to my cell phone and if I can't access my phone, then the custom voicemail that caller hears is the DTMF key ("9" in my case) sound and so if I am not able to get the phone, it will automatically buzz them in.
It reads exactly like a HBR case...except without all of the excel attachments ;)
I've been working on this for a while now, and am just about ready to start working on the second part of the product. That will be a hosted search solution, using the same technology used for the internet search.

Ken makes good points, but don't think for a moment that DSLR video isn't going places.

Sam Nicholson, for instance, has Canon's R&D people at his disposal. They furnish him with nice shiny things like HDMI monitor output and manual focus over bluetooth:

Suddenly focus pulls become something you can set up on your iPhone. The rest of us can only drool and hope this will make its way into the kit soon.
Well I wasn't really thinking about "integrated" solutions like ERP systems (ala SAP) but something simpler but not that much.

I guess what you are saying the "sweet spot" for a "simple" app is to do exactly one set of things that each one of them cannot/should not be done separately (eg. milestones and project management) and be separated from other stuff (like contact management). In this way, a business that cannot afford (or doesn't want) one of these should not forfeit the other.

But is it best (for both the vendor and the client) to have these as two different applications or have them as plugins or upgrades? The end result is the same ("you pay for what you need for as long as you need it") but it's how you get there that bothers me.

To be more specific, is it best to say "pay me $x more per month to have contact management" or "if you want contact management have a look at this other app I make".

> 200 hours trying to reduce that 3% to 2.5%

It's about progression over time. If someone didn't do it, we'd be leaving significant performance gains behind. That means more servers, more electricity and more money for everyone.

I'm not going to do that for my app but it's nice that there are people making these improvements for the benefit of everyone that uses their server.

When you take into account many small improvements, across all deployments, over time, they can and do add up to significant improvements.
I agree, Dubai is unsustainable and Israel is surrounded by non-friendly neighbors. I wander how far advanced Israel would be now, if it was located in a better neighborhood. 2-3 years of live of every citizen could be invested into something much much better, than army service.

If they're making it opaque I'm imagining that they're doing it the way I've wanted to for a transparent monitor. A second pass-through/reflective LCD just after the microdisplay is.

One like the ones on the pebble watch would allow you to selectively let light through from the outside or let it be reflective and show the microdisplay instead.
