But that's not true. DNSCurve does provide a decentralized trust mechanism. If you are willing to embrace the pitfalls and advantages of such an approach, you don't need DNSSEC.
That was a lot more boring than I thought, cool PoC though.

I work for credibility.com (https://credibility.com/search), and we get our data from Dun & Bradstreet. Our search seems to have more results (~18MM docs).
I think I've learned there's not much you can do.

My advisor and I talked to two reporters: one from MIT News (https://newsoffice.mit.edu/2015/how-language-gives-your-brai...) and one from Science Magazine (http://news.sciencemag.org/social-sciences/2015/08/all-langu...). They both communicated with us about all kinds of details in the articles, and let us comment on the drafts. We clearly stated what we did and didn't want to claim, and they did a good job conveying what we wanted while adding extra connections we hadn't thought of for popular appeal.

On the other hand, we had no contact with anyone about the Ars Technica article. I've also seen some other articles cropping up that are copying the original articles, and making claims I wouldn't stand by. I don't think there's anything we can do about that.

With some exceptions, at least. For example, twitter.com shows up as an EV green bar while my browser tells me there's no CT information available. The CT website mentions a list of exceptions would be generated but I haven't been able to find any public list, and there's been no update to their rollout plans in over 7 months[1].

Oddly enough I noticed the other day that certificate-transparency.org isn't even accessible over https.

Aren't those generated by RNNs, which are Turing complete?

Honest question, from one who doesn't want to re-learn the lessons of the past and who would really appreciate a 2 to 3 decade boost.

What are the lessons of Erlang, and how do you abstract as much of that as possible away from the language/ecosystem to others? I'm looking for an answer a little more accessible than "you have to learn Erlang to find out."
And what evidence do you have that silicon transistors do any kind of computation at all?

I don’t think government, country level Internet filtering is a particularly good idea, but for parents, being able to avail themselves of tools such as filtering at the household level can be useful.

I think reducing the argument to simply, “I will hang out with my kid while she uses the internet,” is Pollyanna. Yes, that is the ideal, but the real world intrudes.

I did hang out with my kids while they used the internet. We did have the discussions about safe and unsafe behaviour. They know I know the passwords to their email and social media accounts and may review them occasionally[1]. They know if anything they come across on the internet makes them uncomfortable they can come to me and not get in trouble. They have done this often as they were starting out. We kept the kids computer out in the family room, in the public family space and not in their bedroom where it is unsupervised. I’ve put in that hard work.

But you know what? I can’t be with then every minute they are on the internet. They have phones and laptops for school now. The internet is used ubiquitously in our house. They’re teenagers now, and I am not a helicopter that can hover over them. I have to work and cook meals and do my own things as well.

So technological tools[2] that can help me parent are very useful to me. They reduce the cognitive load. They help me parent better.

When one of my kids has watched too much youtube, they get redirected to a page telling them if they want to watch more, they have to go jump on the trampoline for half an hour and get some exercise. I don’t have to rely on my imperfect supervision and my mercurial mood to yell at them to get off the computer.

When the proxy logs show one of my kids was starting to search for porn, I was able to have the discussion with them on about how pornography is entertainment, not educational, and when you are sexually inexperienced it can really give you wrong ideas of what sex and intimacy is like, and screw up your expectations. It helped me to give my kid timely education, not catch them and be able to go “Ah HA!”
The choice on these things should be at the household level. Sure, educate parents on ways they can use technology to help them manage technology. Don’t force it down a country’s throat. Few people want to live in a nanny state.

[1] I’m in the extremely fortunate situation where my kids take comfort in this, not see it as an invasion of privacy. I do not take that for granted. (And perhaps I am deceived. ;-)

[2] To emphasis, tools to help you parent, not tools to replace you as a parent.
Here's another one: When should/shouldn't you exercise options when leaving a startup?

Obviously, if you're leaving Uber you'd be wise to buy your vested equity if you can.

Obviously, if you're leaving a company that is crumbling, you probably shouldn't.

But what about an earlier, Series A/B startup that's promising but still shows a lot of risk? Or what about a later stage startup that is doing well but not on a guaranteed path to a huge exit? On what information would you decide whether or not to exercise?
Yeah, that does sound like exactly what I want. Still has the "conventions" problem I mentioned, but maybe worth it, and common enough that it isn't that big a deal.

To your edit: Ha, I have a PR against arel that is similarly neglected[0]. Maybe an advantage of using a less popular library is that the maintainers aren't so overwhelmed that things get lost in the shuffle!

The nice thing about magnetic fields is that all charged particles are deflected: the positive ones bend one way, and the negative ones bend the other.

In a lot of situations, the particles will actually spin along helical paths whose net motion is along the magnetic field lines. In the case of Earth, that means that the charged particles eventually make their way to one or the other pole... and as the field lines descend into the atmosphere, those particles create auroras. Neat stuff!
Wow, thanks for doing the leg work for me. This is the type of thing that reminds me why the internet is so wonderful :)

A transistor is not doing computation. It is flipping a bit. Those bits are flipped in binary patterns with logic gates to do the computation.

And a transistor is not a neural network node.
Accepted! Now let's derive almost any "probability" from almost any deterministic variable through arbitrarily bad sampling methods...

Choose a goal probability B in the range (0,1). It can't be at 0 or 1, but can be arbitrarily close.

Now let's start sampling, and we'll take this all the way to the limit. For any discrete sample size as sample size goes to infinity, let's choose some positive/negative outcomes such that our probability approaches B. Remember that because our goal probability is greater than 0 and less than 1, there are infinite positive/negative outcomes to choose from.

This distribution has some interesting properties. The derived probability is B. The sample will grow to include all points. There are infinitely many functions to generate this outcome.
Stuffed toys are exactly that, toys. They aren't representative of real lions and tigers in many ways, including most relevantly that they are cute, not ferocious, and are usually much smaller.

If you had a lifelike stuffed tiger and you posed it in contexts where it wasn't immediately obvious that it wasn't real, I bet you'd get some amazing startle reactions.

As much I read about this particular study, in the group of the more spicy eaters, there where plenty of rural people and in the other group more urban people. So, this sounds to me, that there are different factors inside the study which are interconnected and the "evidence" could also be linked to some different factors, for example more healthy lifestyle of rural people (particular in China: I assume healthier air). In the article, I read, they even suspected, that more tea consume of the spicy group could also cause the positive effect.

So, every study should be taken with a grain of salt, particularly when the exact circumstances are not told.

Great question. We have loads of Sinatra services running on CoreOS (using Fleet and Git for deploys) http://blog.clearbit.com/servers-part-one. From there we have a contrib Gem to share middleware between the services. These middlewares handle Auth, Rate limiting, CORS, etc.
Joe Armstrong's thesis, ( https://www.sics.se/~joe/thesis/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf ) has some good stuff.

Part of what makes Erlang Erlang is that a lot of this stuff is integrated very deeply into the language and its libraries. It's not just something you can bolt on in many cases.

Wilkins' book describes a universal language, which is not at all the same thing as linguistic universals.

Wilkins was trying to derive a language in which each word functioned as an index into a universal ontology of concepts, so that the concept represented by a word could be deduced by breaking apart the structure of the word itself. This is an interesting (if quixotic) experiment, but it's really concerned with building an a priori language.

The study of linguistic universals is the study of properties of natural languages: for example, all languages have pronouns is a linguistic universal, because it is a property that is true of all natural human languages. This is clearly not something that Wilkins was working towards: he was building a new language for the purpose of perfecting and clarifying communication. His Real Character had little—if anything—to do with analysis of the properties of natural language, and therefore also has little to do with the study of linguistic universals.

That can get ugly too. I have a function that takes in a (possibly malformed) URL and returns a key-value array of its parts ... seems straightforward, but it's about 300 lines, and this site includes some tests that I haven't bothered to concoct yet, so mine probably isn't even complete.

90% of these are actually "Why Flux + React Is Awesome" and have zero to do with Redux.

Redux seems perfectly nice but more verbose and boiler-plate ridden compared to say... Alt or Flummox and way less intuitive to newbies than Reflux (though Reflux has its own issues). I like Flummox but it has Osbourned itself by saying it's functionally abandoned.

Redux has constants for Actions which seems like the most verbose and ugly way to implement that (and it was the most criticized part of FB's original implementation as well). What this article doesn't do is tell me why I should use Redux instead of the others. Isomorphic is a great feature over Reflux but many other Flux libs have that.

So... can anyone else on here tell me why I should use Redux in production? Note - that's the important thing; in production. Who cares if it's a cute side-project thing? Real world applications are key. Or is it a case of "don't, but when it's stable switch"? If so, fine, but why would I switch?

In short: can anyone answer the question this article didn't? Why Redux?
I don't understand. As much I saw, this was a Chinese study and I also guess that most participants if not all, are Chinese.

And now you have 404 problems.

In all seriousness, this is why I don't like the IETF's documents. They write in a verbose way and then don't even provide a reference implementation, in this case, a reference regex that would have done away with lots of dispute and ambiguity. It is my opinion that, in practice, your specification is inherently broken if you can't provide a reference implementation.

(No, BNF doesn't count as reference "implementation". Who uses BNF in their programs to validate strings anyway?)

FWIW, AFAIK (not 1000% sure), panadol/hedanol/paracetamol/etc contain a form of Arnica (possibly along with one or two other things). Sourcing/using Arnica directly, in its natural form, can sometimes be effective. Pretty much the entire medical establishment is based on the idea of patented extraction techniques, which manufacturers can charge royalties for that are as high as they like.

I'm not against making money and being successful, but I think that an increasing majority of players in this field are making it hard for the establishment as a whole, and this has been going on for a while. I'm not sure how long it can keep going without cracking.

One cannot always choose one's friends and environments. There are indeed friend groups that would not be available to someone who has not watched Star Wars, or Jersey Shore, or what have you.

There's no one item, no short list, of essential works that define the threshold between effective and ineffective cultural participation. But there is a compounding social effect for each movie/song/book/etc. someone doesn't know. Each additional water cooler conversation that one cannot join, and each additional movie reference missed, is one step further away from those friends. At some point, people stop trying to communicate with someone who doesn't understand them.

Beyond mere socialization and entertainment, popular culture forms the behavioral and memetic vocabulary with which people communicate. As an example of how isolating cultural non-participation can be, consider how difficult it is for escapees from fundamentalist religious communes to integrate into society. That is the extreme end of a spectrum, and each decision not to participate in one's local popular culture moves one closer to that extreme.

I'm not saying piracy is right; I'm saying that the choice not to consume is inextricably linked to a whole lot of other choices, including whether to participate in society at all.

Given all that, it is unconscionable for Hollywood et al. to wield the amount of power they have demonstrated in the provisions in leaked TPP drafts and other laws and treaties.

How SoapUI Was Created: An Interview with Ole Lensmar
Erlang programmers have thought about how to solve these problems a lot longer than Go's, for example. The problems being solved today aren't appearing for the first time. You don't see blog posts written about how to do X in Erlang because X has likely been thought about carefully for more than a decade, a best solution to do X likely already exists. Erlang programmers today can worry about building their applications instead of the most fashionable way to do X in Y language.

The latest problem Erlang is addressing is regarding leap-seconds and how they can cause all kinds of strange behavior in applications. In Erlang, this is called Time Warp [1][2]. I have yet to see another language try to tackle time correctness, since most are still too busy ironing out the performance of their garbage collector or how to do concurrency.
