Unfortunately, this means you either have to use a self-signed cert which CloudFlare will not verify at all (meaning it can be MITMed) or use one signed by a trusted CA... which brings you back to square one.

That sounds more like TechUK, which afaik isn't government funded and is a membership based lobby group. They did a bunch of events together with GDS last year. Different from Tech City UK which is more like PR to help the UK, and free training/events for startups to help them grow. Unfortunate name collision...

I'm happy to be corrected though! I've been slightly out of touch these last few months.

They specifically tell you that you need to back up your login-cert or you will lose access.

One year passed, and I checked my backups. Yup, there it was.

If you take security seriously, you should actually read what's on the page instead of clicking "next, next, next" like some driveby malware-installing Windows-installer. And then this shouldn't be an issue.

I guess this is StartSSL's way of not having to deal with people who don't take security as seriously as they do.
It still sounds very complicated. Doesn't the UK need talented people? Or are they getting enough from mainland Europe?

That depends on exactly what idea of determinism you have. If you mean something like phenomena can be described by the standard model, that's fine, but if it's something like local realism, that's been busted pretty hard. This might prove more interesting than the linked article, though it was on HN previously:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v409/n6822/full/409791a...

Local realism is the idea that objects have definite properties whether or not they are measured, and that measurements of these properties are not affected by events taking place sufficiently far away1.

[...]

Many experiments1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 have since been done that are consistent with quantum mechanics and inconsistent with local realism. But these conclusions remain the subject of considerable interest and debate, and experiments are still being refined to overcome ‘loopholes’ that might allow a local realistic interpretation. Here we have measured correlations in the classical properties of massive entangled particles (9Be+ ions): these correlations violate a form of Bell's inequality. Our measured value of the appropriate Bell's ‘signal’ is 2.25 ± 0.03, whereas a value of 2 is the maximum allowed by local realistic theories of nature. In contrast to previous measurements with massive particles, this violation of Bell's inequality was obtained by use of a complete set of measurements. Moreover, the high detection efficiency of our apparatus eliminates the so-called ‘detection’ loophole.

Perhaps, instead of using this "shoe-horn-mandatin', ambiguous thesis thinkin', can't-force-their-ideas-on-everyone" HTTP "religion", you'd prefer whatever Facebook tells you is better?

ISTM that the hundreds of years of debate comes from a unfortunate misunderstanding provoked by many centuries of religious thought: that to be free we need some kind of "soul" apart from physical reality. (The article mentions that)

But I don't fully understand why so many smart people, including non-believers, can't see the obvious: that determinism has nothing to do with free will. Free will is just a mechanism of finding a path between the set of natural forces operating inside our mind, including all the range of motivations, from basic instincts to sublimated aspirations.

The opposite to freedom is slavery, either from external circumstances or from own instincts that, in turn, is caused by external circumstances: arrested development, physiological defects or the mental illness.

So lack of freedom has causes and freedom has causes too (configuration of our brain and a favorable environment). The opposite of freedom is not "uncaused".

Requiring no determinism is one more example of the not true scottman fallacy. Or moving goal posts.

The new Apple TV is coming next week, Tim Cook says
I feel the worst part is making sure to have redundancy for these things. I've lost so many pictures and chat-logs through the years from disk-failure. Backing it up somewhere else which is (or is not) encrypted offsite can make this even more bothersome, but it's often neccessary.
I've had to slam on my brakes because someone wasn't stopping (and then they waved at me to thank me for stopping for them...). But that was once after the hundreds of time through there. I know it's not quite fair since they're at different places, but compare the roundabout to something like 3rd and F at 12:30. It's a nightmare there, whereas even when there's a bus letting off 60 people walking to the apartments by that roundabout, it's not that unpleasant.
Yes, that is also a concern. One can only hope that when they turn into abandonware, those software will be "freed" ("cracked" but legally, although IANAL) by the community.
Tuning FreeBSD to enchance web server performance
I've watched that video too and it is based on false premises.

I work in an area that is at the forefront of automation and algorithms - marketing and I actually make those automation and algorithms happen. They will never ever replace humans. All of it is simple input-output program. There is no "artificial intelligence". There is only automating tasks. And before you start protesting that the employers will simply dispose of the people who used to perform those tasks let me tell you that nothing of the sorts will happen. The humans will simply start performing other tasks. Using those algorithms and automations in their decision making. There is just a shift of the paradigm in what constitutes marketing or sales work, not obliteration of employment. In fact, employment ins skyrocketing. Required skills are shifting, but that is to be expected.

Now if you talk about clerks at the fast food chains and big box retailers - some of those will be gone, yes. But not nearly as many as you might think.

My analogy is very carefully chosen. Think about it for a second. Or more than a second.
6 Things I Learned Working at Startups
In which case, it can be easily MITM'd by an attacker sitting between CloudFlare and your server, which makes it only slightly better than plain HTTP. It would have been great if CloudFlare let the user to upload and pin a specific self-signed certificate that it could then validate to prevent such attacks.
FWIW, 100g is over 30% of the all-up weight of two of my quadcopters. I think very carefully about tens of grams of additional weight for better GPS or FPV antennas...

On a more wider subject, I always wonder what happens to the developers just simply disappeared.

Phone apps, browser add-ons, you may only notice something happens when it stopped working.

Then you go to the forum, you go to the blog, there may be some rumors. There would be some people trying to pick up and carry on. But, sometimes, no one knows what really happens.

No emails has been responded from that weird email address ever since, no activities from that account.

Finally, you may go to tweak that apps you loved so much yourself. Or when you are lazy, you will try to find an alternative and accept it. But the question is still hanging in your head.

I find lynx/terminal style browsers easier to read. But one thing I did notice was that they were slower than some of the graphical ones (the last time I tried). So I ended up modding my GUI web browsers for readability.

I'd like to see a speed comparison.

A browser where you disable JS, CSS and images, you'd hope may be smart enough to not fetch or process unneeded assets.

I have a 1.4mb connection at home, and many sites are painful to use, to the point I just don't bother. Because of lavish asset loading - with advertising etc.

Most of my web reading is suspended to the future: add to queue -> process page to text -> send to e-reader, partly as it's more comfortable, and also because of sluggishness in sites/pages.

On faster connections/faster computers it's less of a pain. Mobile is generally a world of pain (for me at least)!

Google’s been quietly recording your voice
The best part is, the cert you use to log in to your account itself expires after a year. So if you don't renew it in time you lose the ability to log in and issue a new certificate for your site, right at around the time your site's certificate expires.
So just a small point because I think the names cause some confusion -- the organisation "Tech City UK" is based out of a small, desks-only office somewhere near Moorgate. Used to be a similar set up just north of the Old St roundabout. It's low key and really not an events space. My feeling is that Tech City UK is a lean, good value organisation.

There's also the neighbourhood loosely called "Tech City" which is Old St and east London generally, but I'm not sure how much that name has currency any longer. When it launched with that name - loads of fanfare, trumpets, press etc - Google Campus opened at the same time, as an events and co-working space. It's fancy. So for a lot of people Google Campus == Tech City. Separate entities tho. You may have been to meetups hosted there or somewhere like it?

And I have to say, a lot of my current goodwill towards Google is based on them opening Google Campus. Exactly the right intervention to catalyse the neighbourhood at just the right time.

On your point (4) -- Tech City UK's big focus right now is on the north of England. Tech North opened a month or so back to promote and help out, getting the startup ecosystem to properly take root across those cities.

How is this any worse than trusting the original CA? There's almost assuredly some high standard they use to cross sign, and they'd get revoked if they do that incorrectly. You're failing to note that MCS was revoked as was CNNIC. So, boom, 2 bad/laughably incompetent players are out.

Trusting a CA means trusting them to write certs, even via an intermediary. If you don't actually trust them, remove those CAs.

The CA model has lots of problems, but I don't see what additional harm this actually causes.
Probably just that we're being told who to trust, instead of deciding who to trust.

I'm quite pleased with StartSSL.

Although i agree that their user interface isn't that much user friendly, it took me just a couple of hours to learn how the process is handled at StartSSL.

You let them create a certificate you then use for your login process. Then you validate your domain by email and then you're pretty much valid to pump out as much certificates as you want.

Only drawback is that the certificates are only valid for one year.

Perfect use for condoms has a 2% failure rate. Perfect use means the user did nothing wrong, not that the condom was perfect.

0.98 ^ 35 = 0.49, i.e. 51% chance of failure.

Failure here means child conceived. And keep in mind that there is only approximately a 2% chance of having a child from each encounter, so condoms fail a LOT. (20% chance of a child if done at the right time divided by 3 days out of 30 where it's possible.)

Note that the low 2% conception chance is mitigated by looking at a failure rate over a full year, i.e. multiply 2% by the number of encounters in a year.

It's somewhat irrelevant how much money you're being paid between $100k and $300k.

I know from experience there's not enough free time to spend that much money anyways so unless I'm getting a part-time job or I'm trying to retire early or something it's not a priority.

After $100k I'm going to start looking at other priorities like equity, how interesting the work is, food and ping pong tables and so on. It wouldn't make any sense to further pad my 401k or whatever at the expense of my day-to-day happiness.

Sure, which is why I suggested this only for the mid-to-large "classes". I have flown several myself, all the way from the CX-10 (< 12g), to a custom 800 size (> 3kg range). The high end of that could handle an extra 100g without much fuss. The high end of that is also what the airlines are most worried about.

Granted there is some grey area in the 300-500 size copters, where they are large enough to possibly cause some minor damage to an aircraft, but small enough that the weight of an additional TX would pose an issue.

The registration being proposed by the DOT/FAA isn't going to help with these either; they are quite simply too small for any "tail numbers" to be visible at any distance that matters.

Gmail is good, but it's not the features so much as the complexity of running my own mail server that's stopping me moving off it (to say nothing of the fact I am not a "Unicorn"). The current DIY offerings are far too heavy and complex. It's a pity because there are a lot of apps that could use the identity/data layer of email if it was simpler to use. By simple I mean if we were inventing it today then a simple JSON under the protection ssl would be a decent starting point. Extensions over the basics could be flagged in the subject header with the payload as another JSON file in the basic attachment infrastructure. While it would be more complex it shouldn't be too many times more complex than the dime a dozen "IRC client in language X" or a REST interfaces.

Maybe I am wrong regarding traditional email though, is there a simple and easy DIY email stack around these days?

that determinism has nothing to do with free will

The theory goes that, on an atomic level, interactions between particles is a deterministic process - it's wholly and completely predictable because the outcome is determined by a knowable set of rules. Given the fact that our brains are just[1] a huge set of particles and chemical processes it should then follow that a perfect computer model of someone's brain would make the exact same decisions as that person.

In other words, we don't actually make any decisions for ourselves. It's all determined by chemistry.

If that's true then someone could argue that the path of their life was predetermined by the state of the universe at any given time, so the fact they shot their wife was actually nothing they could have had any control over, and it's very unfair to lock them away for 30 years if they couldn't have changed anything. It's just the latest outcome of a chemical reaction that started at the Big Bang.

It's actually a very compelling argument. The counter argument requires 'magic' in the form of something that we can control that can't be measured. That's a big ask for any rational scientist.

[1] Pretty huge 'just' there because it discounts God, souls, etc. Many people think that the brain isn't just atomic particles. But there's no evidence that they're right. We've cut brains up and looked.
"We must believe in free will — we have no choice." (Isaac Bashevis Singer)

In general, it's far from useless to investigate the nature of X before having a clear definition of X. Perhaps the definition will come as a result of the investigation. Perhaps there will never be a clear definition, but paradigm cases are easy to come by (that's arguably the case with free will).
