Hi, DotCloud'er here - so take my comment with a bit of salt :-)

Regarding "lack of control", we do our best to address that, in multiple ways.

1. We don't require DotCloud-specific changes to your apps; if you install your Python dependencies with pip or easy_install, dropping a requirements.txt file at the top of you app will be enough to get them installed automatically when you push your code to DotCloud. Of course, if you are used to install Python stuff with other ways (apt-get install, or funky PYTHONPATH tricks), you will have to change that. But moving your dependencies to requirements.txt is not DotCloud-specific, and if you take the time to do it, your app will certainly run better, not only on DotCloud, but on other environments as well. Same thing for the wsgi.py wrapper: once you have done that, you app will run like a charm on any other WSGI-compliant hosting. We think it's a big win, but we won't fight to the death to convince you otherwise ;-)

2. We give a "fair amount" of control on your DotCloud services: SSH, crontabs... But you don't get root access. Why? Well, what if you deploy a Python+WSGI service, and then "sudo apt-get install redis mysql-server irb1.8"? If we want the scaling/monitoring/etc. to be working, we need to set some rules. However, if you need custom stuff, we will always do our best so you can get them.

3. There's the famous "I'm too scary to put my data in the Cloud" (especially after last week's EC2 outage); we address that by giving you many ways to setup automatic backups of your data. For instance, we have a tutorial explaining how to setup MySQL/PostgreSQL backups and ship them to a 3rd party server using FTP/SCP.

We are perfectly aware that many of you out there can do what we do with Puppet/Chef/#{my_fav_devops_tool}, but there are even more people who would rather get straight to the code, and we want them to be as happy and productive as possible!
Serious question, what is a "co-working vacation"? If you are working surely your employer doesn't expect you to use your vacation time.

I have been remote working full-time for over 3 years while my wife and I have traveled around and do not blur my work and my vacations so I find the term "co-working vacation" puzzling.
I understood from the video that it had been 3D-printed
no name-calling here, boss. I very much agree with you that his credulity seems unlikely to be wide-eyed. I wonder how I could have better described his credulity.

I keep thinking a huge part of who he was came from being a patent examiner specializing in electricity & electro-magnetism when it was at the forefront of the natural sciences. He was keenly tapped in to the most current affairs of science, of electromagnetism, via this channel, and it, I would wager, gave him a great many perspectives.

His other activities, reading amazing works with his 2 other friends at his tiny little "Olympia Academy", his seemingly science-afficianado-based marriage to his co-student first wife (before divorce & marrying his first cousin), these other connections I did not know about in this article: they all were amazing context to share in, to be deeply in touch with the happenings of the world, the news of the day, the deep thoughts. And supposedly being a patent examiner just sucked, was terrible. It's been portrayed as a colossal drain, a crush on his own scientific development. And he disliked it. But I still keep thinking: seeing so so so many bits of the natural science, so many theories & inventions & ideas, day after day, from the cutting edge: he was mainlining the natural sciences, the most plugged in, wired in person of his age. Via this channel, by having to judge patents. Striving to understand who had discovered new real principles & applications, how these endless ideas in front of him worked, tied together, what it all meant: he was trying to make sense of so much. (And also, yes, coping with mounds of business-folk filing endless claims, many dressed up & full of shit).
But your laptop isn't your phone. I don't think Eclipse would run very well on my phone's relatively weak ARM core: it barely keeps up on my 2008 MacBook Air.

Also concatenating "foo" to the end of /every/ password is not salting your hash. You need to have a suitably random string for it be considered salt. Also you want to have a different random string for every password in your database.

>Repeat until you have some useful output.

Do you really think that's how useful work is accomplished?

The point of TFA is that there aren't as many problems in need of brute forcing as we'd like to believe. In truth, most important problems require intelligent and skillful analysis. Where computing power is truly the bound, it tends to be applied pretty quickly.
"... I think the fact our housing bubble hasn't popped yet goes a long way to explaining why our banks look to be in such great shape. I'm not sure all the patting ourselves on the back is necessarily warranted. ..."

I walked 240km (Canberra to Kosciuszko) earlier this year on a bet made on the housing bubble ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/collections/7215762379... and the most interesting thing I learned was how broken economic models really are.
The Peter Principle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle
I've tried finding something similar in my (European) country, too. Unfortunately, we don't have any Starbucks, and I find the silence in libraries to be too loud for my taste.

I've found two "eh" coffee shops, but one's always crowded and has poor ventilation, and the other one cranks up the music as if to scare people into only buying take-away, while the coffee-grinder or blender makes it impossible to get anything done on the same floor.

I've actually considered doing a start-up coffee shop to address this very thing, but it's to big an undertaking at the moment. And I'd rather do it in a country that seems to respect that culture already, which renders the idea somewhat moot.
Security-minded folks might be interested in the "clojail" sandboxing library (https://github.com/cognitivedissonance/clojail/blob/master/s...) that this webapp uses (https://github.com/dbyrne/4clojure/blob/74f381701b62a12e2bfb...). clojail's README contains some caveats worth reading.
Anyone know a good mp3/ogg of coffeeshop sounds? That might be entertaining to play on headphones to pretend that you are at a coffee house.

Better yet if a coffee shop sets up an audio stream :)

I can definitely see both sides of the coin, but there isn't a neat or clean answer. The old telcos like Verizon, AT&T, etc see bandwidth as a limited resource that needs to be rationed.

Companies like Google in Kansas City sees bandwidth as being like a parking lot for a big box store, or a subway stop for a big-city department store -- a funnel to bring in customers.

I think the compromise lies in the middle -- you need a physical regulatory environment like Germany, where the actual conduits for public utilities are owned by the public. Then you have the companies compete on the value they bring to the table -- customer service, a better global network, price.
I had read years ago that studying in different locations tends to increase retention of material. Don't have the reference anymore.

Maybe there is a general principle of physical novelty stimulating or "prepping" the brain for intellectual work. Just speculation, though...
I think this risk is marginal.

No, this risk is most certainly not marginal.

There is a difference between someone stealing a snapshot of your data, and someone gaining permanent, undetectable access to your data.

It's also about attack scenarios;

With an USB stick crafted for this purpose I could steal your credentials in under 10 seconds, while you're on the toilet and forgot to enable your screensaver. Locating and downloading the actual data would take much longer, planting a trojan for later would be much more difficult and unreliable.
Context matters.

What Trump did over the last 5 years pales in comparison to what he is doing now.

The effortless transition of power is the most fundamental and sacrosanct process in a democracy. And everyone has an obligation to defend it.
"So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause." -Star Wars II
Trump's statement this morning included the statement, "it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again". Some Trump followers read deeply into every word he says, and these words encourage them to mobilize and literally fight. Many had Civil War Jan 6, 2021 shirts, others had explicitly neo-nazi and anti-semitic symbols on clothing or tattoos. They consider Trump their leader, and they are committed to "making America great" at all costs. Clearly there are many opinions at play in a crowd like that, but by doing effectively nothing to stop what happened and by making statements that he knows will promote chaos, he is effectively supporting violence and insurrection.

By not conceding the election or accepting a peaceful transition after exhausting all legal remedies (accepting an "orderly" transition falls short of peaceful), using words like "fight", calling the opposing party "evil" while sympathizing with those breaching the Capitol by saying "I love you" and "I know how you feel", pressuring his VP to unilaterally reject certifying the election, not condemning extreme violence and tragic deaths because of a rally he promoted...the list goes on.
This post appears to assume that github pages will never have any vulnerabilities ever and will always be available.
> All they wanted were real audits of the election

So the actual audits done in response to the proper challenges under proper statutory authority that did not find that there was anything sufficiently wrong to overturn the results of the election (and, in many cases, concluded that there wasn't even anything wrong in the first place) are not real audits?

Having actually read several of the lawsuits filed (mostly those after the Texas v Pennsylvania suit), I can tell you that almost none of those lawsuits actually called for a real audit of the election. They actually called for annulling the results of the election in various ways. Many of them didn't even allege voter fraud, and a few specifically denied allegations of voter fraud. If the people filing these lawsuits said they only wanted real audits of the election in media statements, they are fucking liars.
Given the accelerated boom/bust cycle in cryptoland, selling while the price is still at all time high seems like a safe bet. You might miss out on potential gains if the price continues to rise, but it's better than waiting too long and panic selling when the crash comes.
It's 2 weeks not indefinitely, not the same thing at all.
Trump has always gotten away with the things he was gravely incompetent at on the basis of his incompetence. This is just another case. He was pushing Pence to use power he didn't have. His allies all pushed the fraud narrative. And he provoked a riot that proceeded to follow his orders and storm the capital.

This is what a weak coup looks like in 2020 America. None of the action above were based on preserving order or upholding the constitution or fullfilling his oath of office or protecting our democracy or being in the right. It was a power grab doomed from the start, but never the less, a power grab and a sorry attempt at a coup.
It's been tried many many times, but as a network service you simply have no way to enforce what messages you are going to receive until you receive them.

So you have to type check at runtime. You can build tooling to make it easier to produce conforming software at each end, but you can't guarantee that someone won't just go ahead and write any old thing.

So in practice you still perform validation on each message.

Put another way: distributed systems turn all type errors into runtime errors. The guarantees of compile-time checking are severely weakened.
Can you elaborate? That cookie thing seems to have only resulted in web pages having annoying popovers about cookies.
Of course Christianity was hard on scientists in the past, but in Christianity there is room for interpretation. This was made possible since translations were eventually accepted and some texts could not be translated directly (e.g. Hebrew texts). Any Muslim knows the Islamic texts should be read in Arabic and that no man may change the original Arabic texts or be punished with death.

A Muslim knows it's a sin to doubt Allah, so any thoughts that might give doubts in the beliefs of a Muslim should immediately be discarded. Any Muslim that abandons his faith should be killed even! In Christianity it's not a sin to doubt the existence of God and nowhere in the Bible does God ask for the killing of apostates by the believers (this in contrast with Islam).

Were it not for Islam, the Enlightenment may not have occurred, or would possibly have had to occur without the influence of Aristotle, Euclid or Plato.

I doubt this very much, otherwise we'd have seen an Enlightenment in the Arabic world.
>I would love to see an N900/950 modernization just for the ability to run actual linux on the phone to serve as a toolkit.

That's what Neo900 is. All privacy-wise "features" are just a side effects of designing it properly (as in: treating blackboxes as blackboxes instead of explicitely giving them full control over user OS, controlling what data the baseband has access to etc.). There are some additional measures like power switches, monitors, breakers - but those are pretty cheap to put in.

Nothing will reboot "every time there is some BS signal on the same frequency or the modem decides to wake up or hop channels on it's own". The point of Neo900's monitoring is to let the user access to information that modem is doing something. Of course if you really want to, you can then setup your software to automatically reboot (or power cycle the modem alone) - but outside of very special use cases, that would be pretty pointless. If you don't care, you simply don't use that data.

>But if anyone thinks that any device they can hack together will give them any level of privacy over organizations like the NSA is living in la-la land...

Neo900 won't magically protect you from anything - no device will. Instead, it gives you tools which, when used properly, can allow you to fight off some of the mass surveillance techniques. Like encryption, which is pretty much rendered moot in most of modern phones where the modem has direct RAM access.

Keep in mind however that when you are an explicit target of some three letter agencies, they can probably employ better and more effective methods against you than sniffing on your mobile phone.

tl;dr: Neo900's privacy solutions are rather targeted towards Stallman, not Snowden or some intelligence agent from foreign country.
Science is by definition the creation of causal chains. If I do X in this system, Y will result. Hence the importance of falsifiability and reproducibility.

This is yet another in a series of economic articles that sound much more like a typical op-ed column than an observation, hypothesis, or proof.
Ftee trade destroys wages, of this there is no secret.

De-regulation subverts democracy.

Time to revisit the relationship between capital and well-being. Ricardian theories of comparative advantage drive wealth into the hands of those who control capital, not into the calloused hands of the poor suckers who sweat.
In Mozilla Firefox, you can create the setting general.useragent.override (it doesn’t exist by default) and set its value to “Firefox” to get a very generic user agent string that websites will still recognize as Firefox and not block as a bot.

Regarding plugins, the best solution I have found is to have none enabled. Firefox still sends them in the list when using click-to-play, so it is necessary to disable them completely.
Your browser (including the exact version) can be determined without looking at the user agent string (which is mostly a series of lies anyway). Changing it "for privacy" makes you easier to track.

As to the plugin list, you could make it non-enumerable, but then one could just probe for the X most common ones, like can be done for fonts.
I've been using the web for pretty much as long as it has existed ('94) and I've always held off on using an adblocker mostly just as a test to see if I could. I finally broke down recently and started using abp on chrome. Sometimes pages will take a while to load but overall it's just such a better experience.

I should note that I have no qualms about blocking ads I would never click anyway. I don't harbor ridiculous puritanical notions that I must suffer in exchange for "free" content. Nor do I abide by the notion that anyone else has the right to sell my attention merely because they make content. Monetization should be cooperative, not coercive (and I also support content creators directly quite often).

In Tridactyl, you just push f, which allocates each key on the keyboard to a visible link on the screen. So to reply to your comment, the keystrokes were

>fu (click 'reply')
>ff (select textbox)
>ESC (deselect textbox)
>fg (click 'reply')

and a lot easier- not to mention, less RSI-inducing- than mucking around with a mouse, or trackpad, or trackpoint, trying to aim a little cursor at a little box multiple times in a row.
Is it that this binary does some tricks to run on Linux, Mac,
Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, BIOS or does it really work on all operating systems including something like Plan 9 or even TempleOS?

And does it run on different architectures like ARMv6?
Coming from China, western date and time formats puzzle me. In China we use the ISO 8601 order for dates. Because of this, and also for all the reasons stated in the article, I use the ISO 8601 format in all my software. As a user, it really bugs me when an app uses either the European or the US format, but doesn't tell me which one it is.
I agree you need to keep it simple, for sure.
But if you don't have a WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet editor, you'll need to regenerate your video countless times until you get it right. That's the only issue I have with it - but clearly, if you wanna do it like this, suit yourself :D

As a side note, I'm working on a video editor, and what I'm working on now, is the ability to add shapes (amongst other things :D) and have an insanely easy way to animate them.
That is such a narrow reply.
What channel? Is that channel being shown in my current TV cable package? What country? How accurate is the show?
Agree on the trend thing.

Even older research supports the claim that black on white is easier on the eyes, this is why we switched away from white on black (DOS and UNIX). This applies to screens in well lit environments though, which would explain the rise of the dark mode in recent years: Smartphones in bed. But there it's more about the "less bad" solution.

The key part is having a well lit environment, so that the white background of the screen roughly matches the overall brightness of the surroundings. This way the pupils don't have to adjust all the time when looking around your room and then back at your screen, or when looking at code where the screen is mostly black with some text, and then some article with images.
> In other words, you would need to use the drugs in combination with therapy to obtain good results.

That's essentially the case with any depression medication.
Please read the article I linked, it describes exactly what the California court of appeals has said in this case.

In particular, the Supreme Court held that in 1984 that this provision of the California constitution can't override the scope of property right that conveyed from Mexico/Spain after the Meixcan-American war: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=122714134443780....

The California court of appeals has already applied that precedent to this case. That was resolved years ago.

I think "dollar cost averaging". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_cost_averaging

It seems to refer to periodically re-balancing the distribution of one's holdings based on target proportions of total dollar value.
What contrast are you using when you get those problems? I typically use 80% grey on black.
What can I say?

I loved peaking. That is, total ego death. Just being there. And the visuals, of course. Totally internal, with the external world just gone. It was like dreaming, except far more intense.

I would typically trip when the moon was full. I'd start in the late evening, with my usual beer or two and some marijuana. And then, just before falling asleep, I'd eat the LSD.

So I'd wake up peaking. And then spend a few hours in bed, "meditating". Eventually, I'd come down enough to shower and dress. Have a mug of ginger tea. Maybe a snack.

And then, a couple hours before dawn, I'd set out on my bicycle. Typically riding toward the setting Moon. I'd often end up at a small park on the west end of a large lake. So I could watch the Sun come up across the lake. Distant flocks of ducks made a trippy sight, skimming across the water.

Then I'd come home, eat, and sleep for maybe 15 hours.
