I don't think I've had a box up in the last decade where I haven't seen this. The brute force attempts against ssh, and scans for vulnerable services are pretty constant. Commercial / datacenter / residential ip doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Unless you have a really bad password, its generally not an issue as the rate of the scan is pretty low. You could always run fail2ban or denyhosts to keep your logs cleaner, firewall the port off to known ips and/or set up port knocking, or change the port it listens on. (Note: Doing any of those is only a trivial increase at best security wise, its more to get rid of the log spam.)

At one point I had a script that parsed logs and added any ip with >= 10 failed attempts to an iptables chain which dropped all traffic. It would generally grow by a few hundred hosts every week.

True certified programming has a lot of overhead but there are definitely areas where it'll be worth it: medical devices, car systems, mars rovers, aviation, etc. The University of Washington is actively working on verifying radiation therapy machine software and early results are already used in production for example. I think the reason certified programming hasn't been more widely adopted yet is because the tooling is terrible at the moment and we still have some important bits of theory to work out (e.g. homotopy type theory & other equality issues). It'll get there. Projects like Lean & Dafny at MSR, Adam Chlipala's work at MIT, and the large amount of theory work being done at CMU, Cornell, UPenn, Inria and other places are very promising.

My bet is that the tooling & theory will continue to improve and eventually the overhead will become low enough that a significant portion (~10-20%) of software will be certified.

I recommend reading Adam Chlipala's vision statement for inspiration on what certified programming could enable: http://adam.chlipala.net/summary.html

I think there are some cities in Europe - can't remember if Paris is one - in which road traffic can still cross on a green light for pedestrians, maybe only a left turn and if there is no-one crossing. Of course, "no-one" crossing is then taken with a pinch of salt by bullying drivers. This is definitely not the case in London, although traffic still has a tendency to go through red lights late.
I was in Paris from Fri-Sun, and the difference between having cars and not having cars in the city centre was incredible. I've been to Paris a few times before, but the calm, lack of noise and general feeling of pedestrians was incredible. More cities should take the lead from Paris/Germany/etc. and reduce the number of vehicles in city centres.
Personally I like the stackexchange model where downvotes have a cost.
Population by administrative area is irrelevant.

"Comparing urban areas in the European Union, Eurostat, the statistical agency of the EU, places Paris (6.5 million people) second behind London (8 million) and ahead of Berlin (3.5 million), based on the 2012 populations of what Eurostat calls "urban audit core cities"." — Wikipedia.

This is just awesome. I'm hoping to get one of these next time I need a car, which will be in a good few years.

If you compare Tesla's X and S to other cars, nothing really compares. How many cars fit 7 people yet accelerate like a Ferrari? How many cars effectively have 2 boots without being a van? How many cars cost a tiny fraction of the price to drive the same distance?

At that price point, you tend to be looking at either a little sports car, a luxury tourer, or a family tractor. This compares favourably with all of them.

At the moment the downside isn't even that bad: battery life will probably improve with time, and you can already go as far as most people need. Yes, your grand tour of the continent will take a few more stops, but pretty soon I'm guessing it will be close enough. And already the car drives itself. That's a huge, huge win.

I am expecting some competition though. I can't imagine the established manufacturers letting Tesla take the market in electric cars. That will hopefully bring down the price and increase variety.

As much as I dislike xml, I don't think I want to place my layouts in my code though.
From what I have seen, Anko's answer to how to handle buckets is 'just do it by code'. I need to see how it works for very complex layouts.
I have written several very complex UIs that I don't think would be expressed easily with Anko.
Again, I should really have a try, it seems to bring some niceties that I would have to write custom ViewGroup code to do with the base framework.

However my argument had more to do with the Android's API surface area than the UI in particular.

Amongst the hustle and bustle of London the other day, I walked past a Prius manoeuvring. They're still enough of a rarity in the UK to make this a delightful experience; the complete lack of engine noise, whilst disturbing, is such a welcome contrast. So, be positive - one day, all vehicles will be like this :)
You will notice that you have left Berlin by all the trees and fields around you. You will notice leaving Paris by the huge motorway you have to cross before you enter the surrounding urban districts.

I use Safari because Firefox and Chrome are both bloated pieces of crap. I can open 30 tabs simultaneously in Safari with minimal impact on my CPU, while Chrome locks up for close to a minute as it tries to cope. Much better smooth scrolling performance, integration with Safari on iOS, etc.

The only thing I wish Safari had that Chrome does is profiles.

Inexperienced drivers and drunk drivers. Where I'm from there are many inexperienced drivers with lots of money due to political connections. In fact inexperienced drivers are almost a target market for cars in that price range here. There are also brats with rich parents. There's also pretty widespread drunk driving across the board.

The 80% number is useless. The first thing to do is to remove deaths where there was no trauma to the head or damage to the helmet, then you have a more fair comparison. I am certain that helmet do save lives, question is how many of the deaths would have been preventable by wearing a helmet. I don't think all the ER nurses and doctors are biased to such an extend that they are 100% wrong, when saying they see plenty of examples where a supposedly "No protection helmet" actually made a difference.

I have yet to see anything other than broad statements and useless repetition of statistics the author fails to understand properly. Btw, from you second link

Is the high air pollution due to population density or emissions technology (ie Diesel vs Petrol?) For example, I look up the pollution numbers for 2015 in California Bay Area and the strict California PM10 limits were exceeded for only 2 days in the year.* And California is known for being car crazy and we have had hot dry weather for some time now.

* (http://www.baaqmd.gov/about-air-quality/air-quality-summarie...) BTW where do I find something similar for Paris?
It sounds really scary to control front door via API and I don't really see a way to implement such a thing securely without a lot of work (running ethernet cable from your front door to air gapped server) and then there is the problem of how you use it. You can't have mobile app that could unlock your door since it would need internet/wifi connectivity which automatically just screams "not secure enough!" to me
Is it possible you're having this experience because Safari just is ignoring a whole bunch of stuff (that makes the web-pages slow and cumbersome) because it's too outdated to understand?

Battery life it does have an advantage on, AFAIK this is widely understood and both Google and Mozilla are trying to address it (if they can, Apple does have nonpublic/undocumented APIs...). I'm surprised you find it outperforming Firefox wrt memory usage, though.
> (...) while Apple is taking a more measured approach with a focus

> on performance and reliability.

Good luck then trying to do anything complex with video and audio on iOS Safari. I've seen many weird quirks and bugs, strange limitations (videos always playing fullscreen on iPhone) and even browser crashes.

And considering reliability: wouldn't you agree that we would be better of using a native solution for clipboard access than the buggy and insecure Flash fallback that's needed for Safari?

Rate limiting on password logins ought to be the default, not some optional extra that only the security savvy know to install.

Defaults matter: not implementing rate limiting by default in sshd has left an open door for these people to walk through & attack the net. Sure, you can blame people for choosing poor passwords but, given the reality of the millions of machines out there, as programmers we know that some of them will have poor passwords because people are people. Failing to code with that expectation in mind is doing our users a disservice.
There are already solutions from RUKO (Assa Abloy) which lets you do it with your phone, but something with a local server and an ethernet cable should be safe enough IMO. In our case, you still need to de-activate a separate alarm. It's literally just the replacement of the key and anyone can get a lock pick kit on amazon.com anyway :-(

Askeverybody.net – Creation and Placing of Any Forms in a Couple of Minutes
One of the nicest sideways-thinking pieces of design I've seen in traffic junctions in recent years has been spiral lanes, which deal with this beautifully. Unless you change your mind while actually on the roundabout you hardly ever need to change lane on one of these.

You select your lane as you approach the roundabout based on which exit you want to take. You then just follow the lane markings, which take you on to the roundabout, around it, and out your desired exit.

Here's a picture (of an unusually complex one; they're usually simpler than this): http://www.whereitis.co.uk/_Media/green-bridge-spiral-rounda...

How to Protect Your Data from Third-Party Breaches
This is the latest political stunt of the hipster left in power that doesn't care one bit for people who actually have things to do during their day, and only cares about tourists and skateboarders who go in circles in the very center of Paris.

Tough luck if you come from far away for work, if you are old or handicapped, if you planned a day in the countryside with your family of four children, etc.

Pollution is much lower when traffic is fluid, and recent road work and legislation have done nothing but help create huge congestions that drive pollution through the roof.

I was recently in Delft, NL - I saw hundreds of cyclists - only 5 or so with helmets and they were children / in lycra.

Nor gloves. In the UK I always wear both. It is the environment that makes the difference. People in Delft are not going 20mph like I do. They are casually cycling from one part of town to another in their normal clothes.
That would make sense. In California, there is the Central Valley which is far from the ocean but lower population density and the pollution is much worse.
tagSpaces does a fairly decent job of it. its only missing a few hundred features compared to evernote but its mainly just one guy making it for the last few years so its fairly impressive at the same time.

This article seems a bit wooly and doesn't really explain how this personalised delivery is going to be achieved - but a real-world example of genuine ad personalisation technology running right now in the UK is Sky AdSmart:

http://www.skymedia.co.uk/sky-adsmart/

It downloads demographically targeted ads to your set top box ahead of time, and on channels with the appropriate signalling, will automatically replace a live advert on the broadcast channel, with a targeted ad playing back from your set top box. The experience is pretty much seamless. Some of the case studies are really interesting.
I wouldn't bet on the established manufacturers, they can cruise along making money for a long time without needing to change their mindset. There's a good video talk by one of the Tesla founders who points out that the reason they can build a car is that the big manufacturers outsourced everything, and so they can buy wheels, suspensions, wipers, windows etc. from the same places as the incumbents.

The only thing they didn't outsource, the thing they think of as their core, is the engines. Which is the one bit that Tesla, and the future, neither needs nor wants.

But I'd expect to see a few more new names in this area, like BYD (a battery company, so you know their priorities are well aligned).
This is reason #1 why I like DEVONthink for the Mac. It uses exactly this model. I'm sure equivalents exist on the other platforms, but I'm not all that familiar.

I have been an Evernote Premium user for a long time, and since the company seems to be having a rough time, I recently looked at getting all of my data out of Evernote. What a nightmare.

I loved Evernote. I loved the fact that Phil Libin said he wanted it to be a 100-year company. I don't know all the details, but the fact that he seems to have given up... what a letdown. I'm working on getting my data out. Once I'm done, I think I'm going to let my subscription lapse.
You are the one who introduced "moral obligation", and "dictating" to the conversation, please don't invent words I did not use.

I simply said it would be nice for website owners to express their opinion on ad-blocking (some are pro, some are anti), and then users could choose to use that information.

If this gets into a war, it won't be hard for website authors to start sending you webpages where you have to call the javascript for the content (with ads) to appear -- some websites already do. I would suspect however those who write ad blockers will be more motivated to block ads, than websites will be to write ad-blocker-blocers.
If they are signaling right, towards you, you obviously do not enter. But what do you do if there's no signal and they are riding the inner lane ? Do you plunge right in only to see they were after all about to exit, just forgot to signal ? Very risky.

I see the signal as a way to communicate inside the circular road, where normal lane rules apply: you keep your lane, and if the lane in right is free, you can switch to it after signaling. Repeat until exit.

Also, a left signal before entering is useful: it says you are taking the 3rd or more exit, and that you will make a tight turn around the center, with slow speed. This way, people entering after you can plan to pass you on your right and continue forward.

It is in Apple's interest that people don't browse at all, and spend their time inside apps, where Apple has a much bigger chance of getting revenue sharing.
