I feel like it's dismissive and reductive to simply call it a "cultural zeitgeist." Like jrajav said in their comment[1], a large part of it likely has to do with women experiencing more discrimination and prejudice first-hand, and thus they feel more strongly about harmful discrimination and have that added perspective about their first-hand experiences with misogyny.

Sure, but thousands of people phoning in to say “you’re an utter asshole” — leading to the site’s closure — isn’t simply “not a nice thing to do,” though.

They got what they deserved, but if it ain’t “mob justice,” I don’t know what else to call it. The Internet, en masse, certainly has a pulse and life of it’s own.

Depends, if you just wrote books without bothering to REALLY study how fiction works, anything is possible. Writing well is stupid hard, and just writing more won't necessarily teach you how. Though if one's willing to put in the time to write 10 books one would hope the same person could put in the other effort studying the craft side of writing... Not impossible though.
jsBFSH is even thinner :) Very "bare bone" and compact lib, though it doesn't work with strings at all, only arrays, most likely to facilitate use on binary data and to support binary keys instead of just textual ones.

I don't see why anyone non-mathematical would want using neuronal networks in the first place. There's lots of machine learning tools that are designed to work out of the box (decision trees, SVMs) whereas neuronal networks on the other hand give you greater flexibility but make it radically easier to shoot yourself in the foot if don't understand the whole thing. And "the whole thing" involves a gobload of math - including multidimensional calculus, little bits of probability theory, and numerical optimization.

That said, it's probably ok if you just want to get your feet wet to see what it's all about. There's even (decent) libraries for Python:

Stanford student here, I don't much about MIT but I guess that's true of Stanford. I don't know if I buy the implication that Stanford is sacrificing the quality of its engineers for it, but she's definitely right about the focus. There is a lot of emphasis on entrepreneurship here.
LinkedIn displays profile completeness on your dashboard by awarding percentage points to your profile for completing certain actions. Mine is at 90% because I've chosen not to upload my resume and have filled in certain fields manually. Most gamers will tell you that not having full completion of something is frustrating. Having points/achievements for an application can be fun and awarding, but it can also be annoying if used ineffectively. Speaking of, I'd love to see a desktop app/game for mac with growl+achievements.

I am a full-stack developer studying design on the side and would love to join a team with strong engineers to learn from.
Hard to navigate the possible implied double negative here; are you saying independent central banks tend to reduce inflation or increase it?
You seem to be suggesting we should learn to submit to IP and its restriction on copying. This would be a sad and very wrong direction.

We should have cultural norms that encourage and support both production and copying -- they are both good, and mutually reinforcing. And we should build commercial systems around that, not warp our innate moral sense to fit some arbitrary market arrangement. If certain corporations don't like it they are the ones that need to reform themselves.
I understand it seems witty article to link to, but it's not giving the Heroku guys much credit. It seems that they ran into some fundamentally difficult problems while trying to implement a pleasant logging system - I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt for a number of reasons, but I know that anyone can fall into NIH trap.

What, then, would you propose as a solution, given the nature of Heroku's architecture and customer base?

The question could be argued about if software was overpriced, or were there too many layers in the distribution chain that all wanted to make something off the software sale. The iTunes App store has collapsed the distribution chain. The OS X App store may do the same.

I completely agree with you.

The best office setup I've ever worked in was a narrow building that had smallish offices (big enough for two people) on the outside (each had a small window) and open meeting space in the middle. Everyone had their own space (like to leave junk on your desk? clean freak? everyone is happy) and if you wanted to hang out or hold an impromptu meeting the common area was literally outside your door. Most of the time people's office doors were wide open so no one was closed off but if you wanted to really focus or take a call or listen to a video or just disconnect for a minute you could shut your door.

The freedom of speech does not include the right to yell "Fire" in a crowded theater. Or the right to yell "Let's burn the house" at a KKK rally in front of a man's house in the south. There are boundaries to all rights. Otherwise we would never know when the rights of one person must supersede the rights of another.

I mean what about the simple text of the Sixth Amendment: "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law."

The $20 Dollar limit is complete arbitrary and doesn't even make sense in today's era. Really this is an artificial boundary. Rules set in place by men to govern men. Rights with boundaries.

How is it different from Zulip and Mattermost etc?

I'm wondering how come you choose C++ (instead of e.g. Rust), when there're these articles every now and then about buffer overflows etc?

I'm curious about how you came up with the idea to create Apopase
Yes! In development :-)
yes, the size of the data you can process is limited. I had reasonable results with something like 50MiB, after tweaking jvm parameters.

One limitation I find annoying is that you can't easily strip your transformation from the data and apply it to similar but different data. It's all together "a project."

So incrementally transforming data works well, applying that transformation elsewhere not really. That bothered me more than the size limitation, which I think is not limiting most use cases with real “messy” data anyway. Maybe processing large volume event / log data would still need something else.

I used it to look at a json export from a SaaS tool, and to convert it to table structure. Cleaning field contents, which where following certain conventions, but which evolved over time, things like that. For such use-cases it's powerful.

These are agency MBS, which are already backed by the US government, so Wall Street was already pre-bailed-out on them. They already had that champagne and caviar.
Couldn't agree more. I think there's a very foolish, immature, and naive impulse to fantasize about a dark future where we're fighting over scraps, but it doesn't have to be that way. Let's not start intoning darkly about the primal selfishness and animal nature of humans and instead plan to help out. It's an opportunity for everyday heroism and civility, not adolescent grindhouse survival fantasy.

> Each CA would have to effectively mirror all of the logs out there, and the logs impose rate limits on queries. It would be interesting also to see what happens when a log gets DDoS'ed (we know OCSP servers aren't useful because of that problem).

Hrrrm. The data in a log is public; the act of logging needs to be done by the log server, but all output (STHes, audit proofs, etc.) is signed, and thus can be mirrored. A log could just push copies of its data elsewhere instead of self-hosting

For this specific use case, I'd imagine that at least some of the logs would be willing to push data to CAs. If we're really worried about this, demanding that logs push data to CAs doesn't seem like an onerous requirement to add to CT. (This starts to resemble MS's Certificate Translucency^WReputation.)

I have no personal investment in CT as the spec exists (I'm just an end-user); if there are realistic changes that would make it more robust I think we should push for them. (Another easy change that would rule out some of the attacks you're worried about is a mandatory 2×MMD delay on certificate issuance, at least for domains that have opted into such a delay, but this seems obvious enough that I assume people have already thought about its pros and cons.)

Naively, distributing log data seems like the same sort of problem as making a blockchain highly available (whether we're talking about Namecoin's, or Bitcoin's, or anyone else's). I'm not well-versed in how blockchains work at the protocol level; does DDoS cause problems there too?

> Are you referring to the connection between clients and DNSChain or a blockchain and its network?

I'm assuming that, in a scenario like the one at hand here (a corporation wanting to MITM all its traffic), the victims are using the attacker's DNS server and are blocked from using any others. That's pretty common, even in places that don't try to MITM your SSL connections; the sort of appliance at issue here can also do things like block known phishing/malware sites, but not try to modify or log your traffic. In a DNSChain world, perhaps that DNS server will speak the DNSChain protocol, but lie about things to the extent that it can (it sounds like it can make arbitrary changes!???). Or if each client runs a DNSChain resolver itself, the attacker will intercept all blockchain traffic and lie about that to the extent it can.

I think I buy that you can notice that the block difficulty is suddenly remaining constant and there's something unusual with that. I'd be worried that a network-wide formal specification would have to account for, say, a good part of the network getting bored and the hash rate actually dropping, causing a worldwide DoS. But intuitively, it seems good enough.

I don't think the UX concerns are particularly different between DNSChain and something more traditional and CT-like, are they? For DNSChain resolvers on a firewalled network, someone needs to relay blockchain activity or the resolver will shut itself down; if you can do that, you can also relay CT log activity (which must be re-signed every MMD), browser updates, CRLset pushes, etc. and maintain liveness.

I had read about a woman from a Brahmin family who first started practicing Bharat Natyam in the 1900s , and had huge opposition from other brahmins as it was considered low for a brahmin lady to practice . This was only practiced by Devadasis during that time.
Now when the dance is popular , brahmins have myths about how the dance form belongs to the brahmins and was granted by god. I think this is the wiki link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukmini_Devi_Arundale The related links have more details about the transformation from an art form of the lower class to gods gift to the upper class. This is true of almost every claims of the so called upper castes.
Propping up the caste system required blind faith and belief, just dig a little and you see how stupid it is to believe.

The section of the privacy label highlighted in these articles is about data that apps collect that is then linked to your identity (e.g. to an account).

There is a separate section of the label for listing data that is collected as part of the app's functionality, but then not linked to an account or other user identity - that is where Signal lists phone number.

WhatsApp and Apple Messages collect data and link it to your account(s) with them. Signal collects your phone number, but doesn't link it to anything.

> "Sometimes that product is the company itself."

I suspect there is a cause and effect relationship here, a CEO with an M&A background will always see the company this way. A CEO with a product background may make the companies customer's/product/team more valuable to an acquirer.

The M&A culture of the 80s was pretty toxic, businesses that financed their own expansion/revamp in lean times were looted for their bank accounts during deep recessions. The "survivors" now run with only a few months in the bank, making the whole economy more dependent on financial liquidity. We'll probably never know whether financially lean enterprises were more capital efficient or just riskier.
People have said it off and on through this thread, but the true differentiator for me has always been Goals + Expenses.

They account for the fact that money is fungible and the envelopes are "soft", but still provide a sense of autopilot and integration that I've never been able to get from Mint/YNAB.

You could set aside static "Goal" envelopes just to stash money away, or recurring "Expenses" funded every payday. Auto-deduct from both those sets based on vendor. All the while I could just peek at the app to see my "Safe to Spend" and know what money I could spend for fun with all my base expenses still accounted for. This also worked in joint accounts with my partner, making our shared budgeting trivial.

I will miss this app dearly - it really made a difference in how I manage my money.

And Cloudkick's existing engineering team, who know the problem domain as well as anybody at this very moment.
I would say it is for acquiring their customer base. In fact, customer base is probably the biggest factor in a lot of acquisitions. Like you, i have no idea about cloudkick, and this might or might not have been the reason for the acquisition, but would be surprised if it isn't.
