Also, it looks like they say "for god's sake don't pip install":

Please do not use python setup.py install or ``sudo pip install`. Those mode of operation might corrupt your operating system and is not supported by the Let’s Encrypt team!

Show HN: Veruca.io a Search Engine for Recruiters
Well why Indian writers are returning their awards, the reason mentioned of that is right to a great extent. But what this particular piece of news is doing? Isn't it aggravating the situation by saying the Modi is one responsible for communal violence in India? The real reason of the things that happened, like killing of a Muslim by Mob and murder of a writer, were things that had deep connections from the past. Well!! like the author of this article points out not offering condolence to a muslim, similar things happen when a Muslim mob kills Hindus, nobody even bother to cover such news. Why? Because Hindus are not minority in India.

I don't have any problem with what has been said about Modi, I have problems with the tone and the way it has been mentioned. The way everything has been described, encompasses every single Hindu in it.
I really tried not to make it a rant. Sorry if it came off that way. Just seems like they made some unfortunate sacrifices to keep it as a python application (like Windows support).
Can we use it to find recruiters and preemptively block them?
That's not really online, it still rebuilds the entire table, it just does it in the background and shows the results once it's done. This is pretty similar to how TokuDB hot indexing works, but TokuDB's hot column add/rename/delete is truly online, the results are visible immediately and the actual disk work is done in a lazy fashion.

Not at all. What would be perceived as customer interest as a non-minority customer is perceived as suspicious as a minority customer.

They are not quite the same thing:

* CloudFlare doesn't give you a certificate. It terminates your TLS connection at their endpoint with a certificate they own the private key to.

* StartSSL free tier is for non-commerical use only.

* Haven't used WoSign so no idea what it is, but clicking on the link took was so laggy it didn't give me much confidence. (I personally wouldn't work with a company in China jurisdiction when it comes to security products.)

Let's Encrypt is a big step forward in having a legitimate, actual, user-friendly, free TLS certificate issuer without restrictions for usage scenarios.

I always prefer to correct in private. Most people don't list email addresses in their profiles, so I didn't think to check. Next time I will.

By the way, despite logic, "truly" doesn't contain the substring "true", so "truely" is a misspelling. Your email address, unfortunately, isn't in your profile (and nor could I find it via opencagedata.com), so I hope (though doubt) you'll forgive a public correction.

This can be reduced to a simple mathematical equation:

(risk of hand rolling AES * risk of poor implementation) > risk of poor implementation

Also, if your assumption that the likelihood of introducing a catastrophic flaw is 1 was correct, there would be no correctly implemented crypto anywhere (although it would make the above equation false).

I agree with the nature of your arguments: crypto must be treated with care, and must be vetted by experts. However the whole "DON'T DO CRYPTO EVER!!" mindset is a lot more harmful in the long run. It's a powerful and dangerous tool, but it should be documented and understood instead of making us cower in fear.

This is the key. StartSSL is NOT user-friendly at all, even if you want to use it for the non-commercial personal use that it was designed for.
Mitchell v. City of Henderson
I love OCaml the language, but the tooling, especially wrt building (ocamlbuild, Oasis etc) , is horrendous. That said, the situation is much better now, than say 5 years ago.
This is a medical case study however, not a journalistic piece and you two are being at least a little bit unfair, I think. Since seizures and sudoku are not a common combination, upon seeing the title, I assumed it was something conditional. This sort of Crucifix Glitch—ahem, environmental epilepsy—is also very uncommon and usually genetic, which makes this all the more interesting.

Here, it seems inhibitory circuits in a section of the right parietal lobe were damaged; without dampening, as with any feedback system, the system quickly goes out of whack. What's interesting here is that in this patient, the only activity that seems to generate a pattern resulting in such over-excitation is playing sudoku. But surely that's not the only Visuospatial task he partakes in, so why? All we're left with is: "Our patient stopped solving sudoku puzzles and has been seizure free for more than 5 years".
now that you mention it, at least they didn't take the opportunity to make me click through at least 24 pages to see 12 pictures
I have not heard anyone from Philosphy of sciences saying "all scientific explanations are fundamentally ad hoc". In fact, Adolf Grunbaum studied the nature of Adhoc explanations. Even Imre Lakatos claimed that prima facie ad hoc (those from the protective belt) can end up being non ad hoc.

What I have in my mind when I said mathematical models provide ad hoc suport is this. Today, it is consensus in the philosphy of sciences that there are two kinds of confirmation of a theory: confirming instance vs positive instance. Mathematical models generate "positive instances". A non-adhoc hypothesis generates confirming instances, a special type of positive instances. For more, pp. 61-62, Larry Laudan's "Science and Relativism: some key controversies in the philosophy of science.

Lets look at a hypothesis that says "All swans are white". One keeps on doing field work, saying that 1001th swan is white, 1002th swan is white, etc. All these field reports are "positive" instances. Such field reports don't add much.

I am afraid I am not entirely sure of what you are trying to get across here. Your mere mention of go generate indicates to me that you do understand my point about computers being able to free the programmer from doing the drudgery of implementing the same generalized function twenty times. And since you are familiar with go generate, I expect you also realize there are seemingly endless tools that exist to solve this specific problem.

I _think_ what you are trying to say is that templates in Go are less convenient than in some other languages. That is a completely fair assertion. But the idea of having to type `go generate` occasionally adding significant man hours to a project seems a little far fetched. You could even:

alias go='go generate && go'

I completely understand the appeal of templates/generics being a first-class language feature. Not even the Go authors themselves discount the usefulness. I don't understand why the lack of them is adding so many more man-hours to your projects? The overhead of working around the lack of them should not be that significant, even if less pleasant.
Wow, that's awesome. Nice work integrating this into caddy.

Although, it makes me even more confused as to why they used python for the official client.
In addition to the other differences, as far as I know letsencrypt is the first to offer free and automated certs. None of the other ones offer an API, do they?

Drones would have to be much more troublesome than they currently are to justify the current or proposed restrictions. Every time a drone causes a problem, there's a story about it. Could you imagine if the same were true for private aircraft? Or cars? Newspapers would have to be much thicker. Every day in the US, 100 people die from cars. 15 are pedestrians.

I'm flabbergasted that people worry about drones falling on them, then they go outside and think little of walking next to giant metal boxes zooming by. Can't they see how mistaken their priorities are?

Plenty. I'd hazard that's how most medical science has come to be.

If you're on this site and haven't already been strongly reccommended to read Oliver Sacks, do so. Broader than neuroscience, look for memoirs of British surgeons during WWII.
Science involves experiments. The best economists can do is take a few poorly recorded historical measurements of incomprehensibly complicated systems and try to force-fit them to their simple models.
Yeah, we should regulate drones. Thing is, no one really flies "drones". People are just flying RC helicopters. But we call them drones and associate them with flying death machines and suddenly everyone is scared.

RC has been around for the better part of 60 years and it's never caused a major problem. The only difference between then and now is that now they are much more controllable and a little cheaper, and so more people are interested. If anything, it's safer today than it was 10 years ago. They are more reliable, more controllable, and fewer people are flying gasoline powered craft.

This won't make things any safer. Far from it. It will just stifle innovation by drying up the revenue streams of companies like DJI and 3DR. So instead of them being able to spend resources building smarter, more intelligent flight controllers and guidance systems people will just look to DIY kits.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned toy fucking magnets, but 250 people got shot yesterday and any legislation about firearms is off limits. Can't talk about registration or "tests" or anything. Someone, somewhere, maybe almost had a "close call" a few months ago with a plane and an RC helicopter. Better get the DOT, FAA, and Congress on this stat. It's literally the next 9/11 just waiting to happen.

So we'll come up with a registration list, licensing parameters, mandatory insurance, and we'll start "banning" anything that doesn't meet FAA specifications from being imported or manufactured.

Meanwhile, in the time it takes them to draft their first proposal 7,000+ people will get shot. A few thousand will die.
I don't understand the point of dual-licensing. Anything licensed under a BSD-style license such as ISC or MIT can to my understanding be redistributed under GPL anyway. IANAL, TINLA.

Has anyone seen anything re IIS integration?

[EDIT] I have seen this: https://github.com/ebekker/letsencrypt-win

But ideally we would want Microsoft to add a checkbox in the UI of IIS Manager, which when creating a https binding offers to use let's encrypt instead of an installed certificate.
Maybe it means 75% fewer decibels, which would be quite the accomplishment.

I believe text synchronization relies on Simon Fraser's Differential Synchronization[0], which relies on conventional diff / match / patch and requires that the server hold a full copy of each user's files (and that each client hold a full copy of the server's copy, in addition to its own).

I believe it complicates >2 user editing and re-synchronization after a brief disconnection.

Was there a technical reason to use that instead of Operational Transformation or CRDTs?

In my company, it seems we are (slightly) biased toward female programmer/researcher candidates (that is, a female will get hired more eagerly, all else equal).
I'm not a fan of "protected category" hiring rules in any case. If good old people are underpaid, then let your company profit by hiring them. I suppose a tempting compromise is to not allow companies to solicit disclosure of age etc (so people can leave the year off their degree, show only most recent experience, etc), but honestly I think it might be better if those companies that really will only hire young would advertise the fact and save everyone some time.

Starting from only a very small real disadvantage in ability, any externally distinctive group can quickly seem a 'market for lemons' - for example, maybe the oldsters you've seen so far across the interview table are unrepresentatively bad, because the good ones are working and not interviewing. So don't think because you've seen 4 weak candidates of 50+ years old that it's not worth looking at the next.

Oh god, I am beginning to feel kinship with Donald Trump and Ron Paul - I want to tell my government to stop interfering.

TechCityUK is a government quango?? I thought they were some kind of over-funded startup/charity. Give me small government or give me death.

Oh no, I've been reading American comments on here too long.

Edit: I was going to delete as not constructive, but genuinely this was a surprise, and not a good one. TechcityUK looks and feels like a well funded startup with great government connections but no business plan. I did kind of assume they were gov connected if only because they can do events with government ministers, but an actual funded quango just annoys me - they just got in the way the last time I visited (GDS/CCS roadshow, where the GDS staff and I just exchanged emails but I still somehow got on the TechcityUK mailing list - and hang on they keep trying to charge me - a lot - annually for the pleasure of funding them as a taxpayer. What kind of quango is this?

Aaargh, pass me the shotgun Mabel, I'm gonna gits me a revenoo man.
it's quite bold, and I applaud the management for not shooting it down, especially considering their initial front page was very jarring to looking at. But they've refined the design quickly to get to where it is now.

I'm not saying that his actions were ethical. They were not. I am saying that ethics are not absolute and that there is a point where they simply become irrelevant and can and do depart from "civilized humanity". Ethics and morals can in extreme cases become opposites. The civilization happens when we get them to align and keep them that way.

Allow me to use the Godwin accelerator to draw it all the way out:

"Ja, Herr Kommissar, I saw Frau ten Boom sneak half a dozen Jews into her attic on Tuesday" is the ethical answer. It is the only answer that satisfied the answer's requirements under the law of that time and place. But ethics had ceased to matter, civilization had already failed. Morality was all that was left.

There's a continuum, and being poor, black, and living in Compton in 2003 pushes the puck down the line a little towards uncivilized, into the space where morality starts to hold as much or more sway than ethics. We're just arguing about the amount.
Sure. Sadly, I just looked up nilotinib and it's very expensive. I just assumed it was cheaper. :-(

> Let's make all sin a legal thing

Sin? Really? Laws need to be based on reason, not dogma; sin is religious dogma and has no place in law. If that's your only argument against drugs, then you have no real argument against drugs.

> If you ask anyone involved in the anti-drug business, both directly and indirectly, they will tell you that drugs are serious problem in this country

Of course they will, their paychecks depend on it, that doesn't make it true and you shouldn't be looking to those who personally gain from the anti-drug business as a trusted authority on the drugs. They have incentive to lie to you; incentives matter, look to science, not business, for real answers.

Evidence for both exist in the wild. 'Build it and they will come' seems the more elusive, so in a generalist sense I would go with the 50% marketing. That said I'm a marketer so what can you expect!

In my sphere I've seen so many companies over focus on the product and be dismissive of marketing when It's clear they can grow there business cost effectively via advertising.

I've also seen business throw money down the drain trying to buy their way to success and unreasonably overcome the product weakness.

If a site has tons of https links leading to it, or uses HSTS, then MITMing it without a cert would not be useful. So you MITM it with Let's Encrypt, and they will give you a cert and you just increased your attack capabilities by leveraging Let's Encrypt.

This isn't really a failing on Let's Encrypt though, because tons of other CAs issue certs by only verifying this exact same stuff. Certs are only as secure as the least secure CA. Since the security was already this weak, Let's Encrypt has not made it any weaker.
