Sorry if I sound mean, but this is just a long apologist post about how things are just so hard. Really? Why? Why can't Linux match BSD's performance?

Also, 10gb servers are not rare by any means. Take a look around the next time you walk in a colo. 10 gb servers everywhere.
Good idea! We will take your advice. We will also be happy to see you having a PR.
Eh, you're making the wildly incorrect assumption that everyone lives in the middle of a major city with quality public transport. I would guess that 75+% of Americans either have no access to public transport or the public transport available does not fulfill their needs. This isn't going to change anytime soon in the US, and the car will not die in the foreseeable future.
'leading to meaningless differences in an area where heterogeneity is not a benefit, but hinders progress instead.' I would argue the exact opposite is true - there's utterly no reason for 'different' linux distributions to share anything in common other than the part where they all use the same kernel. Trying to have them be the same hinders innovation and invention on the early-userspace - exactly what has kept SysVinit in production for so long. If you want one coherent userland, use a single distro - don't try to say all distros should be the same
I have no doubt that any developer would send take down for illegal assets usage and there is nothing wrong about it. This where project creator gone wrong and hope he won't do anything like that in future.

Though Blizzard in particular aggressive towards open source projects that recreate their games and generate a lot more lawsuits than other game development company. It's just like that 'Candy Crush Saga vs Banner Saga' lawsuit. These guys had right to do that, but it's still looks awful.

PS: As example of company that nice to the community look at Rockstar Games. Even if they're not really do anything for modding community there is tons of hobby software projects created around GTA include custom multiplayer servers, editors and any kind of mods, So far no one ever get lawsuit threats for doing anything like that. Now check Blizzard with their pro-DRM and anti reverse engineering lawsuits.

I legitimately don't see why you would.

This isn't one of these "Windows sucks!" posts. Windows is a very good endpoint for many services (DNS, DHCP, AD, IIS/ASP.net, VPNs, etc) and of course an extremely popular client.

But that being as it may, packet storms should never be allowed to hit endpoints, that the entire purpose of packet filtering. So you'll want to be taking them out on front-line appliances, and appliances based on the Windows NT kernel simply don't exist.

So this is why CloudFlare cares about this, they're utilising Linux on an appliance in front of their endpoints to try and drop as many "bad" packets as they can detect. Both Linux and various BSD variants are used commonly on networking equipment, so trying to optimise them seems to make a lot of sense.

Windows on the other hand? If you're trying to do packet filtering on the endpoint itself then you're fighting a losing battle. For example, they're low-level hooking network traffic, and while that works wonderfully for filtering, it is a terrible idea if the machine is used for other things as it can disrupt normal legitimate machine traffic.
The UK does the same thing when you fly there, in my experience.

Perhaps, and I had this in mind when I talked to him. But it was also non-technical stuff. For instance, one time he said he was on vacation for a month, but then I talked to his friend the day after who insisted that he was not on vacation. And he claimed that a support person of the hosting company had said that the domain couldn't be transferred without deleting all his customers' files. When I asked the support directly, they said it was no problem at all. But I don't think he was doing this for the money (it wasn't much), I think it was more like saving his face, like IshKebab suggested.

Stackoverflow 10M
Depending on what you're trying to accomplish if you make an entire game engine from scratch that can open up the files from StarCraft (and you DON'T distribute them), I think you should be fine. Although this would raise the complexity of your project. One such project exists:

http://www.stratagus.org/ - A cross-platform RTS open source game engine.
http://stargus.stratagus.com/index.html - A project built on top of the same engine that opens up all StarCraft original files.

Not sure how active this project is or how far it's gone, but it seems to me from what I've seen: If your project recreates the engine and you require the original files and don't redistribute them yourself, you shouldn't get in much trouble? IANAL

All that this link says is that Apple has a patent. Having a patent is not the same as planning to use it.
I think another part of that (in the US at least) is the dominant framework of carrier contracts and subsidies. This is starting to change in theory but up until now, the norm has been for a person to finish a 2-year contract, walk into a carrier storefront, and choose from several phones with ~$200-250 price tags.

When you see an iPhone next to a Galaxy or an HTC variant with carrier logos plastered all over it, the iPhone seems like the most "premium" option and the price difference is either minor or nonexistent. Besides, the iPhone, through a combination of legitimately good track record and expert marketing has an excellent reputation.

But if you're buying your handset outright, those other devices with less (or essentially no) marketing like the Moto X or the Nexus 5 start to stand out a little more if you're not married to one platform or the other. The difference between $200 and $250 isn't much to the person buying subsidized but the difference between a $350-400 handset and a $650-800 one is obvious. You can almost buy two Nexus 5's for the cost of an iPhone so the glass and metal "industrial design" may start to matter less. At least that's what happened for me.

When I stopped doing the contract-and-subsidy thing to switch over to a $30/mo prepaid plan, I considered an iPhone 5S (the current iPhone) and the Nexus 5. The iPhone was maybe a little bit more capable and had nicer construction but if I got the Nexus, I'd save enough to pay for 11 months of service.

Maybe I'm just a compulsive bargain shopper and spend a lot of time looking for the best bang to buck ratio. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate. Either way, my concern wasn't about targeted ads based on my search and navigation history. It was about not necessarily getting the absolute "nicest" thing out there, but rather something that did everything I needed it to do without spending a premium for that last 10% of quality/reputation/etc.
Hi CTO for Userify person!

One thing is setup of jump hosts (basic version just being a box with sshd enabled + users with authorized_keys, which is beyond simple), but it's the limitation of hosts. I have 1 big network where a set of users are only allowed to jump to 1 or more unique host each, with myself and a few others being able to jump to every single one. I believe that your solution requires things to be on different subnets to isolate them, with separate jump hosts for each subnet, correct? Here, I only need one sshmux for everyone.

Another "fun" feature is that sshmux can also throw unknown users to a separate host, such as ssh-chat, for support or hanging out.

Actually, in case of -oProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p jump_host", you're still fully secure in the case that the jump host (sorry for not calling it a jumpbox) is compromised. This is true both for normal SSH servers and for sshmux. They can mess with the original raw ssh connection that requests the forward, but this will just screw the connection up. They can connect it to a wrong host, but that will provide incorrect host keys. The agent isn't forwarded, so they don't get to sign anything with the private key. Messing with the new connection that gets established is subject to SSH's normal MITM resistance. This means that even root on the jump host would require real SSH protocol vulnerabilities to attack the connection.

Good luck with Userify!
Well, that was fun! (now just have to start watching the show from the beginning because I haven't seen it yet)
Machine Learning Specialization – Coursera.org
You should have got what you wanted (domain transfer) before the question of his contract even came up. After clearing it first, I would have said someone higher than you (ideally having recently joined the organization) found out and made it a requirement that all domain names are owned by the organization. That way the freelancer wouldn't feel nearly as personally threatened.

Only then do you end the contract. (Kind of scary that the org didn't have a copy of his contract on file, though. Sounds disorganized.)

But isn't computer just the medium to access the real addiction-causing substance, whatever it may be?

I mean, if you give person a computer of any kind without internet access, they'll likely feel just as anxious as not having the device in the first place. This, to me, would suggest that what actually causes the addiction is something these online services provide for people. Be it for example some form of self-expression in form of Facebook status updates. They'll be fine for as long as they get to make the update for example (and perhaps see it go live? As in to check their outside appearance like a person checks the mirror after fixing their clothing, despite knowing the clothing is fine. Just need that feedback for the sake of feedback itself, not for any particular practical reason necessarily).

Why do I make the distinction? Because I've had to deal with something related to the subject matter myself. (Acknowledgement of some form/sort of addiction, which isn't computers themselves (though the addiction-causing behavior is mediated through a computer), or "being online", but something more general because the addiction takes its shape and form for as long as the online service provides the easy "dopamine rush" (in lack of a better term), perhaps to relieve some underlying anxiety?)

It's all good. So in my experience, I had issues getting my development environment up to speed at work. We had dependency files, but weren't well maintained. I made Combo so that a Dev-team could easily share a file with other workers and bring their engineers' dev environments up to speed in a few minutes. Furthermore, open source projects could distribute their "Combofiles" with ease, grow their contributor base, and focus more on development than menial issues.

Besides, the main goal of Combo is to eventually join "pip" or take on all the capabilities of pip.

Border guards and passports as we conceive them didn't really exist until the 20th century. The historian Paul Fussell wrote in his book Abroad:

"[B]efore 1915 His Majesty's Government did not require a passport for departure, nor did any European state require one for admittance except the two notoriously backward and neurotic countries of Russia and the Ottoman Empire."

And it wasn't until 1945 that Americans were generally required to hold a passport to travel abroad during peacetime. [1]

Your first point doesn't make sense to me. Human knowledge is not encoded in DNA in a single lifetime and more abstract concepts will never be "passed" down to offspring. This is where artifical lifeforms have a huge advantage. Their offspring can directly recieve knowledge from their parents. We can also do tons of other things that would be unrealistic, such a 1-parent cloning, n-parent children where n > 2, children with no parents, etc. Just because we design systems that vaguely model real life in evolutionary computing doesn't mean we are constrained by the same laws of genetics.

FWIW, I agree that any form of intelligent machines that surpass humans at general aptitude tests are decades away. We may not even see them in my lifetime and I'm only 22 years old.

It struck me recently that most cars are increasingly looking the same. It used to be that Peugeots had a very typical nose, Volkswagens had their own boring but efficient look, Volvos were kinda blocky. These days I can barely tell the make of a car by looking at the lines, and that's because they all need to perform the same function: transport a similar number of people at similar speed with as low fuel consumption as possible. So they all have basically the same streamlined lines.

Most websites want their navigation to be found, so they put it in the same place as every other website. They want their story easily readable in the center.

There's still plenty of variation, but sites with similar goals are going to end up with a lot of similar elements.

I said 20 years ago - after the fall of communism. The situation looked like that pretty much until we entered the EU in 2001. Funnily enough, passing the border was easier during communism,because so few people did it that the guards assumed that since you are holding a passport in your hand you must have gone through a very stringent process of obtaining one, and would mostly have a look at your picture, your visa if you had one and let you go quickly(passports also had to be returned to the government upon return to Poland, you had to apply again if you wanted to leave again). Then after 1989 anyone could get a passport whenever they wanted,so border controls became a lot more strict.
Sure, but didn't Primesense make a lot of the hardware for the original Kinect? I remember at one point I couldn't download the original Primesense drivers anymore and read it was because Apple had purchased the company.

Not saying they can't do anything interesting with it because depth cameras really are cool and due for some "killer apps" but last time I heard talk of recognizing people in the room, it was regarding the Kinect and people were wringing hands over tracking and privacy. Either that or they were lamenting how the 3d tracking in games was mostly a gimmick.

Unrelated to the Apple thing, I still think depth cameras will come into their own when you can place a few small ones around a room and create a realtime 3d model of a space for VR.

This is nice but the agent forwarding is a legitimate concern especially because a compromised host can take off with the private keys which are used while beginning the session. Most private keys are used for more than connecting to a single host.

In our setup we use jailkit allowing only ssh passthrough [1], we have added LDAP support to it (may release the patch later).

One of the larger insight that Snowden gave was that agencies dealing with data gathering does so through several avenues simultaneous rather then relying on a single method. They request the data from companies, intercepts the cable traffic between ISP's, plants backdoors in protocols and servers, do MiTM, uses malware, and so on all in parallel. Reproducible builds won't "shut down" the CIA but it will increase the security of compilers and protect Debian's build system which would otherwise be a prime target for attacks that could compromise a very large number of users.
I faced this. I wrote a network search engine and used F#. For ease I deployed on Windows. Winpcap is fine, but you don't have a lot of space to easily improve. Looking at the features the Intel NICs had and how easy it was to use them on Linux... Why would I ever want to try to optimize it on Windows?

That said I think the Wireshark guys (linked from the Wireshark site anyways) might have some answers. I know for WiFi capture they had fully functional Windows devices.
