I'm not in the beta, and thus haven't been able to play with it yet. But, I don't believe there'd be anything prohibiting you from generating the certs on a separate machine. In fact, I'd imagine that's what you'd want to do (if you have more than one server) rather than generating a separate certificate for every web server or load balancer.

I've been off cable (television as a service) for close to two years now. The space where TV exists for value, is our local programming and news. The national relevance is almost moot from a television source, considering I read online news more here and Leister Holtz on NBC. The net savings basically was 1/2 the Time Warner bill -> $105 -> $56. That's almost $2500 in the last two years. That's a refactor of savings into something like a boiler upgrade, or solar panels to portions of the house to extend the savings even further. Either way ... small bill, big savings.

As far as I know, no one (not even the investors) has claimed to have seen a working prototype deliver significant power to a cell phone.
Further from the main topic but related to your sentiment. One of the best ways to deal with this is to have more experienced guys who have faced these difficulties hanging around.

I am a theorist in an experimental laser group, and the group head remarked on a possible counter-intuitive arcing between two separated plates (for the sake of making an electric field) when pumping out the air in a chamber. One would expect that pumping out the air reduces the "stuff" (air) that could support a current between the plates, but due to other physics (longer mean-free path) actually allows a sweet point in which the plates can arc, possibly ruining equipment like power supplies. No one thinks about this until it happens because it's physically counter-intuitive, and its too late...it really is one of those "never happens until it happens" sort of unexpected catastrophes that even if you read it in a book, you'd probably never remember it. He said this is why it's important to have newer grad students work with senior graduate to provide continuity and experience so these mistakes don't reoccur...that, I suppose, the horrific memory of destroying expensive power supplies helps the senior grads remember it better compared to someone reading a list of warning labels in a manual...

I'm assuming if you're a small start-up, you don't have more experienced people unless you hire them. So yeah, something like the C++-faq for general hacking suggestions is fun, if someone reads it.
There are a few ways the brain has been proven to affect the gut: stress causes increase in gut motility, and changes in bacteria. I don't think there's much evidence of the gut bacteria affecting the brain, except in the case of an ongoing infection.

I'm curious which lifestyle changes you made. The changes that seem to help with CFS and low cortisol involve increasing activity, not just reducing stress.

Is there an aggregate Laffer-like curve for wages vs return to society and the economy. For example, for one of the companies in that aggregate, how high a wage can they pay and still get positive "returns" in the society and economy that they operate in. But aggregate, so everyone.

Similar for the least aggregate wages can be before the overall economy is not healthy.
Start programming editors and you will understand. What you see in a rich text editor contains hundreds of debugging flags and formatting tweaks. When copying, you want to copy something clean which will paste nicely in Word or Excel. And you want to add some metadata, so you can trace is source if it's pasted back in one of your editors.
Well? Did it help? :)
The reality here is is Fidelity is getting ahead of the curve. Chances are pretty good interest rates are going to rise in Dec. Some money will follow to these risk free interest instruments (savings, Bonds) Why take such a risk on on a start up with say a 1 in 50 chance of payout, when you can get 1% return on investment at no risk?

Unicorns can only exist in ZIRP. (Zero interest Rate Policy)

In laymen's terms it's called a bubble.

On what? Last I looked, even things like FB & Gmail are largely bound by performance of C++ code. Sure, there's a few hot JS functions high-up in the profiles (esp. in the large data structures they build up when initially loading), but by and large time is spent in C++ code, not JS.
You're right a d I hope it is unconditional, but I'm not sure it will remain so given the power government interests can wield with this tool. Kind of like healthcare insurance, or any insurance for that matter. They all have incentives to act one way or another.

So Fido wasn't great at investing in emergent technology. It paid too much and chased what it saw as 'performance,' applying a Wall Street paradigm to something entirely different. I don't think this result is a surprise, and I'd say it's very, very good for the health of the technology economy.

> As you extend the not inconsiderable mass of the cable towards the earth, your centre of gravity will move inward with it

What I'm saying is that without firing rockets, there's nothing you can do to change the trajectory of your centre of mass. When you "extend" the cable towards earth, presumably you are pushing on it in some way, and there will be an equal and opposite reaction. You don't have to "carefully move the ship outwards" - the ship (which is inherently "massy", as it has the rest of the cable as cargo) will move outwards by itself, exactly the right amount for the centre of gravity of the ship-cable system to remain in geostationary.

So I still don't see what two cables gets you apart from keeping the ship itself exactly at geostationary, which strikes me as unimportant.

That is quite the energy range...
Yep, totally agree. It's just somewhat counterintuitive until you experience it and start to think about why it happens.
Hooked on Socials:  the Dangers of Social Media
Second thought is the add revenue in YouTube and how Google is slowly making it impossible to view something without an intro ad to a video spot I want to watch. Sanity on product reviews, or modifications might actually drive me away from YouTube and stick to reading. I use the MVPS.org hosts file to ad-block most of the website content I review, as I pipe it into /etc/hosts and c:\%windows%\system32\drives\etc\hosts files to keep myself from the flash -> ad-virus injection methods for security reasons. However, YT is driving me crazy with 30s ad spots for like a 3 minute video and you can't walk around them no matter how you try unless you browser jack or regional change some things (right?). Anyway .... venting on Google's ad pushes myself.
Small publisher here.

The impact of the Amazon KDP self-publishing program needs to be considered:

* It fills Amazon’s store with hundreds of thousands of new titles every year

* It practically requires authors to price between $2.99 and $9.99 (in order to get the 70% royalty, otherwise it’s 35%)

* In order to take advantage of various promotional options that allow authors to price the books for free (or offer them for free via the Kindle Unlimited subscription plan) authors have offer the books exclusively through Amazon (no Google Play, iBooks, Kobo, Scribd, etc.)

The net effect is the trad publishers (and many indies) are competing with a huge mass of cheap or free content on the largest ebook platform. Many readers turn up their nose at free ebooks, but many others love to download them and there are some good titles available. I believe it is cutting into the sales of >$10 ebooks offered by the traditional publishers in a big way.

Regarding the other platforms: I don’t like having an Amazon monopoly, but some of the blame should be assigned to the erstwhile competitors who can’t seem to get it together. Apple, which has a great hardware platform (iPad/iPad mini), buckets of cash, and huge marketing muscle, doesn’t seem to be forging ahead in the ebooks space. iBooks is a fine tool for reading, but iBookstore/iTunes has a poor UX. As for iBooks Author, it is a great tool, but it’s exclusive to Apple … and not many authors/publishers want to go exclusive with the #2 or #3 platform. I’d like to think that Google could be up for the task, but it has its own issues to work through — for instance it shut down new account creation for Google Play Books in the spring, and the last time I looked (last week) new publishers still can’t get on.

It’s too bad, because this industry clearly needs competitors who can give alternatives to readers, authors, publishers, and other players in the ecosystem.

I made a very similar suggestion, perhaps less well articulated, just a few minutes ago on HN re: instragram v2 going to multi-DC;

When there is a write up of "We just did this super awesome scaling migration to the new hotness!" -- there will be mini-how-to articles in them... or at least more in-depth reasons why and for what problem they were specifically solving.

A how-to-wiki-gist? with "this is how you connect X with Y over ABC service in order to eliminate problem XYZ" would be great and allow for people to contribut to the how-to...

But we've been saying this for 15+ years... :-)

Scalable and Continuous Water Deionization by Shock Electrodialysis
I paused when I read Intel compiler - that thing is a steaming pile of crap, or at least was for godawful number of releases for a long time and I don't expect it to ever work in the real world with a non-trivial amount of C++ code base. And then I read about a Mozilla header causing it to ICE!

Years ago, I was forced to make a company's product faster by "simply" recompiling it with ICC. It was losing in the benchmarks department and they were told by customer to go away until they could compete. Addicted to easy money they blamed the compiler (VC on Windows, gcc on Linux - how conveniently both were bad at optimizing.) I had a hell of a time getting the compiler to be consistent - it would, for example, ICE on code after re-ordering headers! Their support was atrocious too - but that wasn't entirely their fault, at that level of messiness only a complete rewrite of the compilers by non-PhDs might have saved it.
Dropbox: Focus on Future Value, Not the Current Valuation
I would very much like to read your post.
1) You have a company you know is worth $50 million.

2) You are smart; you scream and yell and tell everyone it's worth $1.3 billion.

3) Now even the smartest analyst is going to say you are worth $750 million.

4) A year later, the market is down. You are really worth $40 million.Some executives at big co "swoop" you for $550 million in what they call a steal + you needed the money.
No problem. Pay walls suck. Enjoy!

An interesting idea for AI! Although, the domain knowledge and contextual information required to classify a poster as say, "normal vs. astroturfer", might be too great, and vary from topic to topic. Also, there's the question of how positive / negative training examples would be obtained - who's going to admit to the ground-truth labels for the "astroturf" class, for example?

It's good to see CloudFlare continuing to embrace security as it evolves. I saw the AMA Matthew Prince did where he said he was concerned about ICANN giving control to the UN, which is a bigger deal than most admit, and he also said he was against regionalization of the net, another issue that doesn't get enough attention. Keep up the good work.

I haven't, unfortunately. I'm planning on doing it eventually, but it'll probably be a while. The tl;dr though is a RasPi hosting a local-only wifi network and Mosquitto + ESP8266's everywhere. I was originally going to go for Arudino+NRF24 wireless, but ESP8266 is cheaper, smaller, longer range, simpler and still compatible with the Arduino library.
> So the solution is social networks that (artificially) limit your access to information, such as snapchat and twitter. You want to only share a few things, with a few people at a time, and perhaps that shared thing will disappear in a couple of days/hours/views. To me that sounds like the long-term future of social media.

not a heavy user of social network sites, so this probably won't be everyone's experience, but the features you mentioned(limit of access to information, sharing only a few things, etc) can be done on any platform. It's really how you use it; none of the sites force you to share every moment with the world

imo the long-term future of social media is to get you to use it as much as you can so they can sell ads to you
This guy's advice applies to people who have a higher risk tolerance. The advice is given in an off-the-cuff manner that really only applies to a small sub-set of the population.

TLDR; "You don't need to save money, just fund your 401k. If crap hits the fan, just pull money out of 401k. Just wait until your start-up is successful, then you will have cash and an emergency fund!"
These funds have 10s of billions of dollars of investments, a few tens of millions here or there does not have significant tax implications.

Here's one of the Fidelity funds invested in Snapchat:

https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/composition/3...

It's got $40 billion under management.

There's a document findable from there that lists their Snapchat investment as $10 million (Prospectus and Reports->Monthly Holdings report).

The number 1 holding of that fund is $2,192,901,654 of Apple. So they get roughly $10 million each time Apple pays a quarterly dividend.
So universities should hire Software Engineering professionals and have them build tools for the research ecosystem? They can definitely afford it.

To add to your point, I think it should be fairly clear by now that human progress outpaces DNA based evolution. Within a thousand years (barring a global catastrophe), we will likely have cured age death and be able to edit DNA at will, making heredity a thing of the past (that is, if humans are still living in meatspace).
I've claimed a similar phenomenom before. Going back further, when there was much less content, even chain letters seemed awesome and hilarious (and worth keeping around). Now, in a post-buzzfeed world, I don't want any more junk food.

Hilariously, you can see older people (like your parents, if they aren't already savvy,) start to use the internet more, and enter the chain letter phase....then send them to you because omg they're amazing. Meanwhile, your hipster internet-consumer self tries to politely decline the second helping of cheap candy.

This is just a reminder of how much stuff we take for granted due to international trade. While one country's supply of something could be all but wiped out it is "unlikely" that several countries will lose their supply.

So while we do definitely see price increases, they aren't often in the order of a 100% increase as is this case.

Random question: How much can/do NK import from China? Is their ability to import limited by financials or has China limited food imports?

PS - I feel bad for the NK people. Nobody should literally starve. Unfortunately international aid is unlikely, charities are unlikely, and importing foods from non-China/Russia is extremely unlikely.

There is a chicken and egg problem here, also.

Many labs don't have any really competent software people in place, which means they don't have effective mentoring and training of new people as they join, which means they don't have a solid mechanism for generating competence in this area (unlike the focus area of their research).

A lot of research code is writing in fits and starts by a revolving door of post docs and graduate students, who don't understand software development, supervised by people who also don't understand software development. The results are really hit and miss, dependent mostly on individuals desire to learn these things outside of their area, or on the luck of hiring the right student or post doc who already happens to know quite a bit (but this probably isn't why you hired them). Some labs know they have this problem but have a structural issue with funding - they can't possibly come up with a competitive salary. Others don't even realize it's a problem.

You end up with a lot of people coming out of these labs with deep domain knowledge but only rudimentary software engineering skill. From an industry point of view it becomes hard to hire many of them because they will need the same amount of supervision and mentoring as an entry level programmer for the first year or two, but if you're running an R&D group you often don't have enough mentors to go around... so there is a shortage of people with 3-5 years of industry experience and an oversupply of those with 0.
I can't totally agree with this. Vehicle miles travelled is a much more relevant environmental metric than "level of service" for cars. While "level of service" does measure the impact for car drivers, it neglects any environmental impact, and also neglects other, non-car transportation as being something that people may want to do.

So now, for the environmental impact report, the metric will actually be environmentally related rather than "speedy car traffic" related.

What I don't get about Tor is that if your adversary can see all Internet packets, all the time, wouldn't it be trivial for them to find the real source and destination of a Tor packet using it's meta-data (size,timestamp,etc...)? For example, a packet of size X was sent from host 1 to host 2 and immediately after, a similarly sized packet was sent from host 2 to host 3, etc... I think of Tor more like a tool to avoid a specific server from finding who you are, and not the government.
