This is a bummer for me. My meteor apps are large enough to not want to host on free `meteor deploy`, but small enough to not warrant a $500/month plan.

Where's the $40/month plan? The $100/month?

Also the fact that it doesn't come with the database is off putting. I was under the impression all these months that Galaxy would be a one-stop-shop for Meteor hosting.

Bummer, total bummer. I hope they come out with more middle ground pricing.
Why hello.
I'm not convinced this analysis is reading the draft fairly:

... if you need to circumvent a DRM for personal use, you are now liable for criminal penalties. Traditionally, for many jurisdictions, circumventing DRM is typically reserved for civil penalties. Criminal penalties implies that the government would foot the bill for enforcement. In civil cases, it is typically rights holders that go after individuals."

Except that here's the actual text:

> Each [7] Party [US/SG/MX/NZ/PE/JP/BN/AU/CL/MY propose: shall] [CA propose: may] provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied where any person is found to have engaged willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or financial gain in any of the above activities.

That doesn't sound like "if you need to circumvent a DRM for personal use, you are now liable for criminal penalties" to me.
There's two things primarily that burned me a few years ago when I was working on an MUA:

1. Message Identifiers/Primary Keys - if I recall correctly, IMAP doesn't have a way to definitively map a message and a unique identifier to the message in a way that is guaranteed to persist long-term.

2. Not exactly IMAP, but malformed messages. When I was working on this, I was using my GMail corpus, which goes back to about 2006 or so. Somewhere around 30-40,000 messages. Turns out it was a ridiculously good test case for parser robustness. Messages that claim to be ASCII-7bit, but have extended characters. Messages that claim to be UTF-8 but have invalid codepoints. Messages with malformed MIME headers. Messages with a text/plain section with garbage in it, while having a nicely formatted text/html section. Messages with embedded CSS that tries its hardest to blow yup on-screen display.

I think that through the duration of the project, I only had to submit 2 PRs to the upstream net::imap ruby library, but damn were there a lot of heuristics in place to try to successfully grab an email from IMAP and display it on screen.
Most mail clients have a "sync engine" of some kind, except traditionally they're not written in Python and don't communicate with the rest of the app using REST APIs.

But why is that a problem? It's open source, someone should just package everything up into one nice downloadable desktop application.
We are all Chinese, now.
I believe the difference is that Open vSwtich is intended to be used as a software switch similar to how a VM is intended to be a virtual server (and its intended use there would presumably be networking between VMs). While OpenSwitch is intended to be an OS run on an actual physical switch. There seem to be overlaps though since it looks like Open vSwitch will also run as an OS on a physical switch.
It's a good thing they just changed their slogan to "Do the right thing." Much more ambiguous.
If your work arrangement was "I'll show up and work on what you ask, then you tip me if you want", then your analogy might make sense. No one is forcing websites to respond to requests and serve content.
Elon Musk is incredibly attached to his companies and feels personally responsible for their success (he probably is). It doesn't help that SpaceX is arguably one of the most important human endeavors of all time (http://bigthink.com/dangerous-ideas/5-stephen-hawkings-warni...).

Having started a project that became successful for a time (though minute in comparison to Musk's projects) I can safely say that walking away when I had to was one of the hardest thing to do. There were people that counted on me, and they were really let down. It felt bad. And we're talking "fun internet community" not "future of the human race."

Out of curiosity, who authorized you? And who had the authority to authorize you to speak on behalf of the middle class?

I wouldn't say it's "clear". Sometimes others have really different views and awareness about various things. Seriously, that stuff happens and (in my own perception) when talking with strangers on the Internet it happens way too frequently.

As much as I admire Mr. Snowden for what he did, he is not an expert outside of the documents he took with him. He isn't privy to anything happening now. He didn't build anything or code anything. All he did was steal from some idiots that should have known better how to secure information. This does not make him omniscient.
The blog post is a good one, but is unrelated to your point about witch hunts, which really weren't much of a thing until the early modern period.

Also, accounts written at any time incur bias - all sources are fallible, and medieval ones arguably no more so than any others.
From what I heard from TI employees they don't get much profits from calculators; they produce produce them to maintain brand recognizability.

If they make an average of $15 per month from digital only subscribers, then that's $180,000,000 a year in revenues. Total subscription revenue for the NYTimes is around $800,000,000, so it's around 20% of total subscription revenue. Total advertising revenue was $700,000,000 ish, not sure how much of that is Digital but I imagine around 10%. So probably 12.5% of NYTimes revenue is from digital only - that's tough.

This way connection to origin server is still a SPoF without the ability to access ephemeral content.
I think it would be a better (is it even in the realm of possibility?) alternative to do it the other way around: embed secure content inside Content Addressable Network (CAN).
With Content Address you automagically get verification that at least the bank URI is intact. On top of that, CAN could aid in verifying root CA/server key pairs increasing TLS security. Well, at least for the duration of certificate validity.
CRLs are again another story confirming that CANs, contrary to centralized ones (unless you are getting MITMed), have no way of indicating whether the content in question is current.
On top of that, if majority of Alices direct peers are Malicious Malroys they have pretty good chances of convincing the network that Alice itself is acting maliciously and content updates from her are not to be trusted. Oversaturated example: Presidential elections with 49.9%/50.1% vote distribution.
But there's always plausible deniability :)
This seems like a good, if belated, move on HPs part. Ethernet switches have become trivial to build with off the shelf parts. If you open up the software then you can focus on things like build quality and reliability.
It looks like this actually came up during NAFTA. A lower federal court found the NAFTA ratification process constitutional, and the appeals court found the question was political and thus not justiciable.

The one thing that is still bugging me is their automatic refill of your wallet. As soon as I noticed it refilled far more often than I liked, I quickly turned off the automatic refill. And now I am very conscious again of the costs of reading an article. I am constantly thinking: "Is this article really worth € 1,-?". Most of the time, no. Either I do not buy the article at all or I ask my money back after reading it. The thing is: their is really not that much content that is worth (like in paying for) reading. My favourite spot for reading opinions is currently Medium. The quality of the articles and the joy of reading is much better.
The incumbent powers will say that this promotes a lot of freedom and a lot of rights. Free trade, free markets, freedom, freedom, freedom. Property rights are individual rights! You don't want to be a dirty socialist, do you? Property rights are the underpinning of all freedom. If you refuse to strengthen them, you refuse to strengthen liberty, you monster!

Here we see property rights being strengthened to the point of undermining popular sovereignty! How can they be called rights when the stronger they are and the more aggressively they are enforced the more authoritarian the world feels?

It really seems like they don't care and aren't working on it.
That's crystal clear: now anyone reading knows the best approach. Makes sense, too. Except that last part.

I agree it's the best option to rollup the sleeves and just fix the problem you're griping about. However, a write-up like Jason's is a valid option, too, if person doesn't have time/resources/skill for that option. Because, at that point, known issues would've been ignored by everyone up to Theo despite it being in default install and under OpenBSD's quality image. A write-up drawing attention to the issue would be justified to prevent users from placing unjustified trust in that component. Being informed lets them take action either on improving the component themselves, limiting damage it could do, or just avoiding it altogether.

Still agree that the gripe should go to the developers and Theo first.
I think you can make a compelling argument now that can be summarized as "since unfortunately the review period for such a complex treaty is extremely short I am writing ahead of its release to highlight areas of deep concern that were in the draft. Specifically ... . it is of critical importance that if any of these rules remain or if like rules which would ...have some problem... have been introduced that you vote against this treaty " and so on. You can state what you feel it must do or not do to warrant passing without knowing the final text.
Really cool software, never heard of it. Recently I asked about a better way to create UIs for coders: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10226653

Everyone doesn't have a bachelor's degree. About 1/3 of 25-29 year olds have one. It is true that the advice you cite couldn't apply to all conceivable scenarios, but if given in a specific time and place it could very well be correct.

As I see it the problem is that it is actually correct at the present time. And despite the vast bulk of private schools claiming to be charitable organizations they act like rapacious capitalists. That being the case we can look at the equilibrium for firms in their positions, which is to capture virtually all of the surplus. That is exactly what they are in the process of doing.

There's probably several different governmental solutions possible, and by all means if you are interested in this issue you should pursue them. But if you want to do something on a personal level, consider forgoing the use of a degree as a proxy in hiring. Just look for whatever ultimate skills and attributes you are interested in directly. This will have a cost to you, the signal is not totally empty, but if adopted on a widespread basis it will have the salutary effect of making colleges live and die on their direct contribution rather than resting on their credentialist laurels.
When Blackberry 10 handsets boot up, they spend a few seconds verifying the security of the software. Since the handsets are practically impossible to root, I'm guessing any alterations would be flagged up.
Fair point. I didn't really give this layer too much thought considering the focus of the blog. It could really be any Node.js framework.

Although saying that, if I had chosen Koa.js the stack would have to be called 3REK, or 3RKE :/
Gonna be hard to compete with the likes of Cisco Nexus... I mean after almost 5 years of the Nexus 1000V platform they come to the table with an "open-source" software platform to be used on hardware that no one is currently using?

My android device cost me $100 three years ago and it's on a relatively recent version of Android.

I'm not expecting Marshmallow to roll out to my device at all, and nobody that I know who use cheap android device does.

Honestly, the features of the OS are not worth upgrading. The only thing that suffer is my gaming abilities. I can't play the most recent games on it... I guess. I don't game on my device.

Average Android user don't care if they are not cutting edge. They would be using Apple product if they cared about that at all. The only exception are those users that purchase the high-end products. Those will gladly trade their phones to stay up to date, they are the ones in the statistics that keep up with the latest versions. The average user are using Android because it's "the cheap smartphone".

I will move up the chain if main features start to break. So far, browsers, social media networks and all those things have been backward compatible. When they won't, I'll trade in my phone, pay $50 and get another low budget Android phone.
Move on. Try a new environment with a new company. I am in a similar boat. My current job just sucks. My state was just flooded with 18 inches of water and the interstates are closed. (Hell, while I was typing, my cell chimed an emergency evacuation notice for a nearby county.) We were expected to be at work or take a vacation day. That is just the most current example.

I am opting currently for the safer route of finding a job while I still have this one. I am looking for pure remote work, so it will likely take me a while to find something.

If the depression issues continue, seek treatment. Whether you're at a new job or not. Take care of yourself while you have the means. Depression will greatly hinder the search process.

I really don't think most of those billion people care. If it works, it works. I still have a backup Droid with 2.3.4 that just keeps working. It doesn't need Marshmallow, nor JB, nor even ICS...
Music, entertainment, simple generic drugs and many other things are being made too inexpensive thanks to technology and globalization. I think these trade deals are attempts to put that genie back in the bottle and increase the price through extension of artificial rights and enforcement of criminal penalties against violators.
Qmail's security advantage came from a number of design decisions detailed here and easy to copy in even clean-slate programs:

http://cr.yp.to/qmail/qmailsec-20071101.pdf

Far as their decision, that makes sense. I still think they should've leveraged proven design principles or tactics in the other software. I've just seen enough of these situations where I believe what you say about how their evaluation and decision process went. I figured licensing would factor into it, too.
I've been pushing functional collections for years (with implementations for Common Lisp and Java: http://www.ergy.com/FSet.html) and I have to say this post amuses me greatly. For most of this time, I've had to deal with people being skeptical about them because they were afraid they would be too slow -- and now the word is spreading that they're actually faster!

I think that's probably wrong. Well-implemented mutable collections are faster than functional collections, if for no other reason than that they allocate less. As others here have said, the argument for functional collections has almost always been on style and clarity grounds. In some cases there's a stronger argument because you need to have many slightly different versions of a collection existing in memory simultaneously; I have written a piece of code like that, but such situations are pretty rare.

I don't want to sound like I'm laughing at your argument, which is all true. It's just funny to see someone putting it that way.

Let's hope we get them. Personally, I expect Reddit to be able to deliver the necessary attention and expertise to cover the issue thoroughly.

I don't. This article is clueless. The truth has not been triangulated here.

Sometimes one needs to pull one's backside out of academic citations and speak to people, at the moment Syrian people are pretty handy for informing one's own perspective on things. I am fortunate in that I know regular Syrian people that do professional jobs, raise kids, play football and have plenty of family back home.

Normal people that happen to have moved out before the rest from Syria don't have some crazy viewpoint, but you have to talk to them. They may not know the truth either but they can provide a point of reference not provided by the media or 'well meaning' articles written by people that either know nothing or have an axe to grind.

We know how to do a lot of things well, but when all our tools are made by hobbyist hackers creating out of love of fun instead of love of sustainability (or worse, short term hacks for love of profit), we end up with the mess we have now.
Good luck on plausible deniability when they have your device, enter the password that you told them, and see the device factory reset. The fun part is, regardless of whether or not the device held incriminating evidence, the act of clearing it is still illegal.

Even if you cleared the device before it was taken into custody, they could still have a case if they can reasonably show that you cleared it with suspicion that it would be taken into custody. Obviously, that can be difficult to show, depending on the burden of proof required.

Can I give a quick plug for Neal Stephenson's new novel, Seveneves? The character Sean Probst, an eccentric billionaire rocket entrepreneur, is very much based on Musk, and is a lot of fun.

If you're going to potentially burn out in your job, having Iron Man and a Stephenson character partially based on you is not a bad way to go.

(I also recommend the recent Ashlee Vance Musk biography.)
