And I believe the "smoking tax" punishes the poor.

You haven't shown that it doesn't; I haven't shown that it does. What we've established is that taxing smoking doesn't stop smokers--Until it's too high a cost to pay. For the poor.

Your being unhappy with a generalization as being 'sexist' is your own problem. The rest of the world just doesn't care that you feel this way.

If you want others to actually listen to your view and not dismiss as meaningless, you have to present data that contradict the premise you are contending - especially when your view flies in the face of anecdotal evidence all of us already possess.
Why can't someone simply make a security wizard for Linux. Like I run the program and it gives me options and changes the settings based on my selections. Why must everything be so manual everytime on Linux...
P.S.

I do, however, believe in the combination of familiar "cognitive" languages alongside verification tools. For example, see how Amazon uses TLA+ to verify their Java programs[1]. This alone is more real-world usage than Haskell has ever seen.

The Extensible Web Manifesto
Containers are completely orthogonal to the cloud vendor lock-in issue. You still can consume proprietary services and APIs from containers just like you may use them from VMs.

All containers give you, is a portable omnibus image format. Container Orchestration software like Mesos/Marathon or Kubernetes gives you ability to deploy and schedule containers.

For those who want to be truly multi-cloud, they need to exercise high level of self-discipline, periodically doing code and devops scripts reviews and audits and check their system on different clouds or on-prem.

I.e. in short they shouldn't take any shortcuts, but IMO for startups taking shortcuts is preferred way.
Tnx; taken care off
"X32:" etc. are labels, e.g. just names of functions or destinations of jump. Suppose you want to multiply A-reg by 4. Your code calls subroutine X4. That's immediately calls subroutine X2 (BSR X2), which doubles A (ADD A), and return. The return location is the next instruction of BSR X2--which is actually overlapping the subroutine X2. It doubles A again (ADD A), and returns to your code.
Tnx for pointing that out, fixed :)
That was not sarcasm.
I wonder how the equivalence is shown for the certification. Do they use something similar to bioequivalence tests (TOST etc.) over the mean number if infections/issues detected?
For my home computer, sshd is always on. It is configured to disable password authentification. On the firewall, I authorize only two things: ssh port and wakeonlan. If I need to access another port, it is generally enough to open temporarily a ssh tunnel.

I think that you lose most of the advantages of a unix computer if you can not access it remotely.
I laugh, and get downvoted, because SecureBoot was a noble concept, and rightfully open source enthusiasts made it clear that trusting select corporate bodies and vested interests to be the sole distributor of keying material for the OS was problematic.

I deal with computer deployment for a living. I realize there is far more nuance, but I trust centralized system verification like I do centralized SSL PKI: I have to, and no one is trusting my self-signed certs unless it is not seriously work-related stuff. The majority of people, and I have a few budding Linux enthusiast friends, just turn off Secure Boot. Not to mention the numerous IT contractors I meet. It is embarassing.

UEFI is also a mess. I have recently read some good UEFI attack papers, and it scares me to no end, as the firmware extension capabilities make the B in BIOS increasingly seem more ironic. And the potential of having a FAT16/32 parttion of exploitable garbage from system vendors puts just back where we started.

I think this shit is great in theory, but in implementation I do not trust corporations with TPM devices, let alone SecureBoot. It works in principal, but only as long as you trust the US corporate and federal government interests.

For reasons long since expounded on HN and elsewhere, I do not.

Amazon without javascript and multi-column pages would be unbearable. Ad-supported content is fine and keeps the web free, as long as ads are sufficiently on-topic and unobtrusive (sponsored posts, light banners à la The Deck, native advertising...).

You can't just look at raw percentages without looking at their composition: how in-demand are the users on Tinder vs. the ones on OKCupid?

For guys with higher "market value", OKCupid is really a waste of time relative to Tinder, and so fewer of them will use OKC. That makes the 72-75% figure quite misleading, since a good deal of those men might not be considered particularly desirable.
True enough, though as soon as you have dependencies, you can't guarantee cross-platform or cross-version portability with those other languages either.

Having changed 5 jobs in last 1.5 yrs, I am finally feeling a bit better ! How? I started seeing a Consultant !

One exercise he did just changed my way I saw the world. I may or may not help you but it helped me.

He listed all problems I have on the left hand side. Why I feel bad. Why I hate myself. Why I think I'm a failure etc etc. Then he wrote all good things I have. He forced me to think all good things around me. I said there is no good thing around me. He asked do you have a job. I said Yes. Well there it is. One good thing. Suddenly we came up with around 5 items.

Then he asked. Where do you think you rank among all the population of the world. I said may be 50%. But you know where we all are? May be top 5% of most privileged group. It just changed the way I saw where I was and what I did or what I had to do.

Find a good consultant. It does make difference. My previous consultant wasn't good and I really didn't believe in therapy until I met the recent Consultant.

Best of Luck Mate !

Another thing: Talk. Talking does a lot of good.

Once you change the way you think, everything else will make sense and get better.

Debian is more conservative with changes - if you want your systems to be rock-solid, go with Debian. The downside is that it's so stable that packages are usually outdated, but in many cases there are more recent backports which you can cherry-pick.

In my experience, Debian's security team responds to new CVEs faster than Ubuntu's, but this is purely subjective.
Uber probably isn't going public anytime soon. They've got at least 6+bn in the bank and will do 5bn gross in 2016.
I think the article is a bit extreme but he does raise a lot of good points. I actually went and checked my website without css, and even tried it in [links](http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/links/). I very much agree that the the use of JavaScript for the simplest of things has gone overboard, but I wouldn't be as harsh as the OP. Cross site scripting is out of the question in my book.

They all come with a dependency manager and the problem of sh (or bash? got your bashisms ready all the time?) is that the moment of introducing dependencies is "immediate".
As other people have said above, "What even is X?" is a sort of odd phrasing being used for emphasis, similarly to other odd dubiously-grammatical constructions that the Internet likes.

A more typical usage of "even" in a similar role would be the sentence "What are you even doing?" which is just an intensified version of "What are you doing?". Even this reads to me as colloquial, but it doesn't sound especially marked and I can imagine hearing it on the street. "What even is X?" seems like a further evolution of it.

Who Profits from a Future Filled with Self-Driving Cars?
China has had non-Uber, Uber-like services for years. I've never heard of anyone using Uber here, then again I don't spend time in the megacities.

The main service I am aware of is dididache or 嘀嘀打车 in Chinese which was apparently launched in 2012 (same as Uber).

My observation is that a lot of people just call their preferred driver, too. In the event that the driver is busy, they generally forward the business to a trusted friend. It's pretty hard to compete with free, personally reputation-audited referrals and 24 hour service.

Further, only certain cities have functional traffic: Chengdu being a prime example. Many Chinese cities' road networks have been so oversubscribed by the millions of new cars that have appeared in the last half decade or so that calling someone to pick you up is a physically impossible model during large portions of the day.

Yet another source of competition are e-bike or e-trike taxis, which have a few hundred dollar entry cost, hang around on many city corners, are totally unregulated and generally faster and cheaper (5-15元 = $1-3) than regular taxis (due to lack of road space).

I am skeptical Uber can generate any profits whatsoever in this market.
Another thing that would be interesting to learn more about is their Front end structure. From what I can gather they keep things extremely simple (jQuery, mostly) and make extensive use of pjax and server generated javascript that gets evaluated by the client. If this is all there is to it then it is really impressive, considering how many other companies of similar or smaller size quickly inject a Javascript MVC on top of their stack the minute the interaction goes past simple forms (Airbnb comes to mind, who to my knowledge is using Backbone for some aspects of their app).

To be clear I think both approaches are excellent and all depends on the in-house talent, but nonetheless it's interesting to see how GitHub is sticking to a traditional, Rails-inspired document-based approach that minimizes front end complexity while other companies do not, even when both have similar UX complexity.
Playing the gentleman and branding me a troll doesn't make you right. Whatever I said above can be verified with some googling. If you actually had a point you would call out my lies.

How Successful People Overcome Uncertainty
Well I would not be too surprised at this fact. I mean kids are an absolute burden. They require a lot of time and attention. Kids are going to be shitting, crying and whining a lot of the time. All of that will definitely cause a lot of emotional stress to the person. If not for biology, which causes us to make irrational decisions (in a sane world, would anyone torture themselves by having a kid and dumping $245000 on something. It simply is not a good investment), nobody would be having any kids. Kids are a massive emotional, psychological and monetary burden. I caused stress and tension to my parents. If I have any, they will do the exact same thing to me. Nobody should be surprised that this occurs. The scientific study seems to be a tad useless. These are known facts.

hi, OP here.

coded this game once upon a time for a viennajs (js meetup vienna) talk. added a little bit more game logic yesterday.

homegrown physics engine (buggy as you will find out) inspired to some degree on what i learned via http://annotated-code.maryrosecook.com/circles-bouncing-off-... (saw this on HN, decided that it should be a game)

issues:

* sometimes dot gets stuck on a line (strangely this happens more on mobile phones then on desktop)

* sometimes dot vanishes (i suspect a NaN error)

* on windows phone lines can not be drawn sticky (not a clue on how to debug this on a mac)

why did i do it:

* for the love of code

* i like simple games (this is another one of my games http://www.fullstackoptimization.com/bubbles/ )

Unequivocally, there's no safety situation in Iran.
It's probably best to add an asterisk: Assuming you're not hanging around the Iraq / Afghani borders.

Iran is a beautiful country with a big PR problem.
Yes the government sucks, but it's just a government. It will pass. The persian culture has survived for thousands of years, and they have a lot to show for it.

They're not 'fantatical muslims'. In fact, islam was only introduced after the arabs invaded.

The best part about countries with PR problems is that if you do bother to make the effort to understand and to go there - everyone is very, very happy to see, meet, chat, help etc with you - because they know that just by being there, you understand a little bit of their culture.

Finally, now is the moment to go there. With the embargos falling, and the embassies opening etc, Iran will be flooded with tourists, and this unique eco-system will be permanently changed.

I'm taking my parents there this year for that reason alone..
Not everyone has these demands and well.. cares this much, to be honest. I would say that the majority of web browsers (the human kind) simply don't mind the different fonts, and colors and what not, it's part of the experience and who the hell even knows what CSS is?

This is of course obvious to all of us, and probably to this author as well, but I felt like I had to point that out.

Strange.
These studies are silly. How happy are you? Rate this from 1-10. There is more to life than just how happy you are at a given moment. A good study would ask people twenty years later what the most meaningful and memorable thing they did was, and how important it was to them. I suspect being a parent would be #1 on many lists (for those who had kids).
actually, in the same paragraph he goes on to say:

A big reason why it dominates the cloud is tons of web developers use Ubuntu as their desktop Linux of choice. It's really very convenient to develop and deploy on the same OS. I don't think its accurate to say "The desktop is a nice add-on, but it's not Canonical's focus nor should it be."

Website Quality Checklist: Are You on the Right Track
The old saw is "Show, don't tell."

If you have to tell employees to engage, you're doing it wrong. If you have to keep telling them, you're doing it very wrong.

If you show people the company they work for is awesome by doing awesome stuff for them and for customers, they're more likely to be impressed.

This is not at all easy - which is kind of the point.

US business culture definitely has a dumb socially inept gene which thinks you can manipulate people into doing what you want by browbeating them with "culture." Of if they're customers, by browbeating them with "marketing."

It's incredibly offensive to everyone involved, and ultimately counterproductive.

The truth is that when companies are genuinely awesome, they inspire genuine loyalty. Ultimately the buck stops at the C-suite and the board.

If they don't have what it takes, there is no strategy that can convince employees otherwise.
