There's nothing "paid" about specifying how we connect to your origin (i.e., with HTTPS or HTTP). This setting is available to all plans, free or otherwise.

During onboarding we attempt to establish a connection to your origin using HTTPS. If successful (i.e., your http daemon is listening on TCP 443, speaks TLS, and presents a certificate), we'll default you to using "Full" mode; if not, "Flexible" mode will be set.

Either way, this setting can be changed at any time: simply log in and click the Crypto app in our top level nav. The setting you are looking for is the first one presented on the screen.

In terms of your second comment, we're planning on rolling out a simple way for you to install a free CloudFare-signed certificate on your origin and use that in Strict mode ("Full" with full chain validation). Don't have a GA date for this yet, but it will be announced on our blog once available to all (still in beta).

> if the choice is "let's deploy software on AWS," vs "let's build an AWS work-a-like and then deploy software on it," it'll always be easier to use AWS

Yes, but that's a false equivalence. You don't need an AWS work-a-like unless you plan on competing with AWS. So much of AWS is dedicated to doing things you don't need to do in most single tenant systems.

But if managing hardware and infrastructure is a huge amount of overhead, what in the world are you doing? If it's more than sliding a server into a rack, hooking up network and power, and leaving it to itself until/unless there are hardware failures or SMART alerts, then you've missed out on automation steps somewhere.

For server environments I set up, I spend perhaps on average 30m per server in a datacentre per year, including travel. On top of that we estimate on average perhaps 10m of remote hands per server per year.
How to Write Native Plugins for Unity
I took a company from 2 people to 80 when we were at the height.

There have been a lot of attempts to crack that nut and most have been unsuccessful.

First you need to realize what is going on when you grow.

1) The more people you hire the more you erode the culture you had. Therefore be very mindful of what kind of people you hire and be quick to realize if they don't fit the culture (even though they might be good). I.e. hire slow, fire fast.

2) Have a set of principles that make you comfortable. If you don't like bullshit have a no bullshit rule, if you don't like agression have a be polite rule. The point is that you will need to be able to see yourself in those principles.

3) Always make it your failure that people are leaving and lear what you can do better next time. Even if it's a person who were really bad for the culture it's your failure. Even if they leave for a better job it's your failure that there is a better job. Find ways within your capabilities to deal with these failures.

4) Most importantly. Make sure people know they are there because they are good enough. I cannot tell you how important this and how many great cultures it has destroyed. Doubting leads to sub-optimale work. Instead of creating a competitive environment create an environment where people feel safe and cherished, that way they will perform much better, at least in my experience.

Last but no least. I rarely make book recommendations but Ed Catmulls (from Pixar) book "Creativity Inc" deals with this exact problem. I can't recommend this book enough. It's so filled with wisdom and perspective and as a bonus a surprisingly good mini Steve Jobs biography.

To give you some of the insights from the book I can recommend you listen to this talk he did http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=3299

That might give you some things to look for and see if you can find ways to address them whether you run the company or you work for it.
OK. Book suggestions? I'm considering "Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python", "Fluent Python", "Naked Statistics" and "Machine Learning: The Art and Science of Algorithms that Make Sense of Data".

I want to find two great books which can brush up and improve my insights in areas such as Machine Learning, statistics, practical linear algebra, computer vision and DSP.

Any suggestions on how to choose among the book list above?
Ah, I was confused for a second—I'd thought Markov was a library, but you meant the markov assumption—the topics are actually loosely related and orthogonal. Your excellent looking library deals with reinforcement learning agents that model environment/agent interactions as a (PO)Markov Decision Process, where as the Alchemy library combines FOL with network representations of particular (satisfying certain markov properties) probability distributions to perform inference.

The HR manager scares me, although I am not sure why.

Job #1 of HR is to protect the company from its employees. The reason for hiring a HR professional (weirdly they never refer to themselves as "resources") is that the owners or managers now feel that they need that protection. There's a gulf now between management and workers, that perhaps was a narrow stream before. You've instinctively grasped this, that's where your apprehension comes from.

Yeah, I stubbornly held on to the pre-order at Amazon until it was cancelled, so was very happy to come across the Kickstarters. Looks like he's wrapped up more interviews than he expected to do, so hopefully it'll be good. I used both a C64 (and VIC-20) and Amiga for years, but it's the Amiga I loved the most so the Amiga-part in the first edition was not quite satisfying due to the limited space..

$6.8 million in the context of the US defence budget doesn't seem that big a deal to me - that's a rounding error in terms of the Pentagon recruitment budget (which appears to be in the range of low tens of billions).

Please, do not succumb to this kind of statements. Erdoğan does not support ISIS

But he at the very least used to collaborate. ISIS is Sunni, they fight Assad, Iran and the Kurds and needed someone to take their oil off their hands.

That's because it was written before Turkey and Greece were part of the treaty. See Note 1 in your link at the bottom, which refers to the "Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the Accession of Greece and Turkey": http://www.nato.int/cps/de/natohq/official_texts_17245.htm - which modifies Article 6 of the original treaty.

Turkey has bombed the YPG explicitly because they were advancing too successfully upon ISIS, pushing west of the Euphrates. This, in effect, has created a protected zone for ISIS to operate. This makes him unambiguously an ISIS supporter.

I entirely disagree with this view. If you look at the period of employment, the need for protection takes up a minute moment.

It is more likely that the owners wanted to recruit great talent, have someone whos mission is to create a nice everyday environment, help spot and train leadership or any other number of things that the HR professionals, I've had the pleasure of meeting in my career, are great at and care about.

Between large evil corporations and tiny lean teams, there are variety of companies where a HR professional can help you make it or break it.
> Could anyone suggest cultural, social or technological reasons that may have temporarily united the intellectuals of the age?

I think the Internet played a very strong hand with uniting the "unintellectuals" of our age.

As for your actual question the answer lies within that sentence "philosophy." Philosophy has been found[1] to be an excellent way to teach children how to access their intelligence; most importantly regarding critical thought. To blindly follow the stupidity of others you must have first failed to practice critical thought.

We didn't have control over the base OS --- we just had to port to whatever foul junk the manufacturers had put on it, and usually had to link to their UI libraries, as our platform was intended to run alongside the vendor UI.

I vaguely remember Linaro, but that might have been ARM (which we also supported). I don't recall Prpl.
its not so much the amount of money spent but the propaganda nature of the activity. As said by senators involved in bringing this to light, most people would assume it was being done to support soldiers not as part of a remunerative arrangement, as the National Guard also said they work well as a recruitment tool. In any other format the fact that something is a paid advert (when it is designed to look like normal programming/article/editorial) usually has to be clearly stated. This is nothing of the sort.
I think there is an ever increasing market for reverse engineered services for products like this. I would love to have a local instance of their back end running, that I would be in total control of.

The problem is, the perceived value of these companies is having access to the video. I'm sure it won't be long before they start auto analysis the video for "faces" or "products" or what TV/Music you listened as a "feature". At which point we slowly start to boil...
Recently Max Tegmark talked at the UN (1) about the potential danger of AI, and he asked what would have happened if making a nuclear bomb was as simple as say baking sand in a micro-wave. He argues that if that was the case most of us would probably be dead. I guess the point is that in these matters, the past is not always a good indicator of the future.

There's a whole (short) chapter on changes in "Peopleware" [1].

I've just skimmed through it, here are the key points I've found:

1) Change is not a single step. It involves several stages, one of them being chaos.

2) Chaos implies that things look worse than they used to be. People feel less comfortable and want to go back to old ways. Their reactions are emotional, not rational.

3) "You never improve if you can't change at all"

I recommend entire book. If you work in software business, I think you should know it.

Talk to your management, ask them what their view of the future of the company is. If you've been there since the beginning those lines should still be open. If you get concrete answers and you like the future view, relax, it'll be ok.

If you're being pushed away, if you don't like the future view, if you're being told to talk to someone else or that this is none of your business I'd weigh carefully if you still want to be a part of this company in the longer term and if you decide not to to start looking for an opportunity to jump ship on your terms with your current job as your fall-back plan in case nothing really interesting comes by soon enough.

Lastly, I'm not sure if it is 100% your problem. Some of it obviously is, the need to professionalize will be felt in any growing company, it's hard to take a company from 3 to 30 people without losing something in the process. But not all needs to be lost and to have buy-in of the old-timers and to communicate openly with them is super important in managing that transition gracefully and effectively and this may be where your management is currently not doing the best job they could (but there is too little information in your message to determine that with any accuracy).

Best of luck!

Interesting analogy, but I think it's rather debatable. We have no evidence that making a strong AI is as simple as baking sand in a microwave—in fact, we have quite a bit of evidence that it's actually extremely difficult. It's unlikely to think that such a powerful and challenging piece of software would have any wider distribution than nuclear weapons.

I think this is affirmed by the fact that most state-of-the-art AI depends primarily on massive volumes of data rather than clever algorithms. Massive datasets are inherently concentrated in the hands of the few and powerful, so it seems unlikely that a rogue actor could acquire suitable data.
This is pretty cool. Quite tempted to buy one and start messing around!
>It's one of the oldest themes in computers - man, this software is crap - that new software will fix all our problems! Until you find the problems with the new.

Sure, it's a universal theme that people can get disillusioned with the promises of software (or any technology) but I don't think that criticism is relevant to this particular story.

What I read in the article is that a few years ago, their hardware was end-of-life (we can speculate that as end-of-lease, or end-of-maintenance, whatever). It forced them into a big fork-in-the-road type of decision: do we attempt to build out an internal cloud or go with AWS? They decided to invest in their datacenter and do it themselves. It turned out that their internal engineering capability could not match the innovations of AWS. The Guardian isn't hoping for "magic software". Any CIO choosing AWS will know they'll still have "gaps" in functionality. (Netflix's OSS portfolio built on top of AWS with its staggering array of "housekeeping" software is a good example of highlighting those gaps.[0]) Instead, their multi-year "experiment" told them that their home grown team could not keep up with AWS.[1]

This doesn't seem so strange since very few companies could hire and maintain the IT competencies to match AWS features even with OpenStack as a foundation. Facebook Inc and Google Inc have the hard core staff to innovate on their proprietary cloud stacks but The Guardian is a newspaper and not a technology firm.

Maybe a lesson here is that OpenStack requires a commitment to supplemental software engineering that's beyond the reach of non-tech companies that treat IT as a "cost center". WalMart could be one of the few non-tech companies that would be able to innovate on top of OpenStack.[2]

Commanders already have ample opportunity to micro manage. As Stan McChrystal mentions in his book Team of Teams, he was often watching real time video and had real time comms with troops on the ground carrying out ops. He resisted the desire to interject, citing a desire to push as many decisions to the edges of the network.

I don't see AI (at least in it's current form) in a position to make strategic decisions. I see AI increasing the fidelity of and extracting patterns from information flowing through the battle space (or boardroom). So I see the greatest contribution that AI can make at the moment in the OO (Observe, Orient - what do I see and what does it mean) of OODA, with the Decide and Act still firmly the remit of humans.

I disagree. Security is a job on it's own and although you can teach some security know how in the grand scheme of things a web developer will never be at the same level of understanding than an actual penetration tester or security researcher.

To enforce rules like this, the best practice I would say is to add JSLint or ESLint with a strict rule set on a pre-commit hook and then refuse any commits / merges that don't pass the static analysis of those tools.
