Agreed. We traded "no nukes" for the potential heat death of the planet.
No, I meant I as in first person as in "I wish they never had built it and I would have traded one more ship to output the gases". Political pride tours seldom work. Well, I guess the Navy did pretty well for itself with them, just not the civilians.
It's been around since 2004, but only really gained momentum when the iPhone app store came out. Since you couldn't have styled text, people would use apps that supported Markdown on their iPhone and once processed, see it styled.
Have you considered telling your customers to go take a hike? Vigorous hiking can have the same mental benefits as jogging, with less impact on the knees.
Regardless of how new/old this is, shouldn't TCP Timestamps provide some degree of protection against this too? If the spoofing host's TSval is less than the real host's TSval, the spoofed traffic will just be dropped as being "from the past". I'm not immediately sure if there's a limit to how much "into the future" the next TSval can be.
Now you're implicitly allotting power to those with the charisma and reach to sway others while simultaneously introducing all the problems of the tyranny of the majority.

In your efforts to try to fix bugs, you are re-introducing older bugs. Have you considered that a rewrite from scratch may not be ideal here, given how hard it is to get a functioning system?
Which is quite another thing, after all you are using somebody else network, just as you have every right to hear Adeles new album in your home, but not in mine.

Besides these days you can use your own phone and mobile data, at which point you should be safe.
I think part of the fame is that he says things like "no one will ever believe you" to people whose events he shows up to, and doesn't self-publicize. People then go on to talk about it, and incredulity is sometimes met with proof in the form of photos of Murray holding a tequila bottle or whatnot. These little bits of truth make all the other legends (true or not) seem true, giving life to the legend.
I don't feel strongly about the practice either way, but you're also indirectly prioritizing users who are most willing to share the product. So they're hoping their early users are also those most willing to spread. The "connectors" of the products ecosystem.
When I watched Borat I felt a little bad for the Kazakhstan government getting singled out like that for seemingly no reason. Now it feels incredibly satisfying.

Steele hasn't edited the Scheme standard since two or three decades.

Ever wondered why Scheme is called Scheme and not LexicalLisp?

It's a new language, with it's own dialects, standards, libraries, implementations, communities, ...

Lately Steele worked on languages like Java and Fortress. Nothing with Lisp...
> I mostly just assumed Einstein’s whole mathematical setup of Special and General Relativity—and got on with my work in quantum field theory, cosmology, etc. on that basis.

I like the way he nonchalantly throws that "etc" in there, as though to indicate that working in these areas is no big deal, really.
Unfortunately that might be the most effective way to fight this type of thing. Massive incident that would show the foolishness of the move.
Why tie it to a phone at all? Why not have this Chrome app work standalone? Apple's messaging app uses end-to-end encryption and it can be routed to multiple devices. I would expect Signal to strive to attain parity with Apple's offerings.

Also, the naming of this app is pretty disingenuous. This app should be called "Signal Remote", since it's not running the actual Signal comms on my desktop, it's remotely controlling Signal on my phone.
Pretty easy really. Without knowing the key for the steganographic algorithm, it's really hard to get the data out unless you can compare it to the original. So if you're sourcing the pictures from somewhere, you'll need to manipulate false bits that aren't called for from the data itself to keep it from being breakable in such a manner.

I will try to continue your clay/sticks parable, but in my limited clojure experience, you seldom create a clay model, it resembles more a creation of a custom clay brick-set.

Most of the time, all of the team is either building bricks or using those bricks.

The biggest plus of using clay instead of sticks is that when you find yourself in a corner, it is easy to invent a new brick shape that fits.

The drawback is, that without the style-guide, you can easily end up with brick-shape per developer. But I see a difference between "Hey, why did you invent a new brick type again?" and "Apply one finger of pressure when doing joins."

When crisis comes and model needs to pivot urgently, there are two possibilities. Either you just need to rearrange your bricks. Or you realize there is something fundamentally wrong with your bricks, and then you create a new brick-type and carefully replace old bricks with new bricks.

Ok, programming parables are weird. I might write a more concrete example, if I have time.
> Once you scratch a little bit the surface, you will see the extraordinary power of its persistent data structures.

I've heard this repeatedly, yet in the examples I've read (for web servers and for web ui work with cljs), they're using atoms with `swap!` to provide "current state".

Could you provide an example of using persistent data structures in a web app? Or am I mis-understanding?
You do know that The China Syndrome was released twelve days prior to the Three Mile Island incident? Did the filmmakers sabotage Three Mile Island, or was it the nuclear industry's carelessness? One thing that the nuclear industry has been good at is not being trustworthy when they say things are "safe".
Can you name some examples of what they can do? Because other than release some sort of virus, which will be found in a matter of months, I don't think they can infect the entire country.
Where do your priorities lie? If there is no suitable laptop which is both completely secure and exceedingly user-servicable & repairable for many years to come, you may be forced to choose.

I am not a physicist, but Wolfram covers this.

"Because there’s a theorem (Bell’s Theorem) that says that unless there’s instantaneous non-local propagation of information, no such “hidden variables” model can reproduce the quantum mechanical results that are observed experimentally."

Wolfram's continues by saying he is allowing instantaneous non-local propogation because network nodes have no coordinates; coordinates (and dimensions themselves) arise as a result of how nodes are connected.

"And even though the network may mostly correspond on a large scale to 3D space, it’s perfectly possible for there to be 'threads' that join what would otherwise be quite separated regions."

He has changed the definition of locality.

Just curious, why do you have no option on hosting? I got into PHP many years ago for this exact reason - it was the easiest language to use on low-cost shared hosting. But these days you can get a decent VPS (where you have root and can use any language) for $10-$15 a month, which is exactly what I used to consider "low-cost hosting".
I normally never do this. But since your grammar, punctuation, and spelling was quite good and you used the word "brake" in more than 1 post. I think you should be using the word break instead for these use cases.

My apologies for being that person today.

Otherwise great responses! Thanks!
> Where some of Claytons theories break down is in his second book. Innovators solution. "Be patient for growth not for profit" which isn't necessarily wrong but Facebook proves that wrong.

While I do agree with you that his theories break down after the first book, Facebook was delivering healthy profits pretty soon after IPO. They could have made profit far earlier, but their investors chose to roll that profit back into the business and make a big bet on mobile. That bet paid off and hugely increased the available equity value and allowed them to go on an acquisition spree and diversify into other growth categories.

Facebook is also a unique business in this context because it didn't really disrupt an established market. They were just first to reach scale in an emerging product category with strong network effects. But there was no product that consumers were over / under served by. You could say advertising, but their real innovation was on the consumer side: you don't get to show lots of ads until you have lots of traffic first, and Facebook's traffic and content acquisition strategy were novel at the time.

Was that trusted root cert ever misused? IIRC, it was un-trusted because they did not do their due diligence on how an issued sub-cert was being used by an Egyptian company.

What does the GitHub DDOS have to do with MITM attacks on https?
Because the society considers such culture good (working at an old-style company is more approved of); established companies have government, business, and family ties that give them enough advantage to get away with some inefficiency; and people who don't believe in these values (i.e. potential founders of companies that would disrupt these values) are by definition so far outside of the mainstream that they may have trouble accessing social resources like capital and advice.

There are endless reasons why societies and economies converge on non-optimal ways of doing things. The market doesn't fix everything.
5 Reasons to Expect Many More Public Shootings
Signal combines a competent and relatable user experience with a reliable security model. The latter is required to make a few people install it, the former is required to make their acquaintances install it, too.
Java has a series of control mechanisms that originate from idiomatic assembly. for, while, if, variables.

In clojure for example you rarely use these low level constructs.

What is simpler to read? Which one is more high-/low-level

List<Integer> even = new List()
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
if((i%2)==0){
even.add(i);
}
}
return even;

or

(filter even? (range 0 100))
Kazakh here. Fuck, what do we do? Any suggestions other than trying to raise awareness?

To give some context, the reason why they are getting away with such brute methods is that the most people wouldn't understand the full implication. I would be surprised if this would prove difficult to enforce - the first thing an ordinary person would do when, say, Facebook wouldn't load is to call up the Kazakhtelecom's support and the support guy would tell them to "press that button that says 'I trust this certificate'" and they would comply. There also hasn't been an uproar re government snooping into private citizens' communication, the kind that US had with Snowden etc., so a lot of people are likely to accept the "for your own security" talk at face value without much skepticism. It's also unlikely that even heightened awareness will inspire much backlash, as there is no real track record of grassroots organizing, even when the government tightens the screws. To its credit, the government has been quite skillful at balancing at just below the limit of pissing people off enough to make them go to the streets for the last twenty years (soaring oil prices in the last decade helped as well).
I think he's saying we should stop spending money on trying to stop global warming, and start spending money on dealing with the consequences.
Alright buddy, I don't want to get in a flame war here, but I'll summarize my arguments in short.

A hits B. Hard. When B tries fighting back, A suggests the world should be a fair place, and really, he doesn't support violence at all, and there should be global peace.

C turns D's family into indentured servants. When D becomes a part of a revolution, and tries to make sure no one from C's (or D's) side can do it again, C says "I'm all for equality yo, lets not be violent at each other".

F's people are particularly unfairly attacked by different members of G groups, which are in power in their country. A lot of F's die unfairly and prematurely, and are mistreated for no reason. When F's people say "our lives matter, be kinder to us", some people who are in G's side say: "hey F, ALL lives matter."

People called G's are unfairly discriminated against, overtly and covertly, but often very openly. They are called names, and their presence in public is often made very difficult, by people called H. So when G's get together and try to get this G-rights going, some H's say: "Hey, there should be equality. You shouldn't get special priviledges. If you are systematically prejudiced against, your bad, there should be equality okay". Lets call them HRA's. You are HRA, exo762.
Bidders Emerge for Yahoo’s Internet Business
It means that when it comes to writing code to deal with a query language, which involves having an AST and manipulating it every which way, Java gets creamed by many other languages. Both the Lisp series of languages (which Clojure is in) and the ML series of languages have wildly better stories for dealing with AST manipulation, as in, better enough than Java that it's worth learning those languages just for that, if that's the task you have.

Whether or not Java is a "bad" choice is a definition issue, that it is handily beaten by many other languages is pretty concrete.

I'm not saying this as a Clojure partisan, or a Java-hater, or anything like that. I'm saying it as one who has used enough of the relevant languages to know it's not even close.

For something more concrete, I'm more on the ML side, so work through https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_... and you'll see what I mean, even if you just do the first couple of chapters. For all that Haskell may be weird in some ways, consider what it means for a tutorial of a language to be talking about parsing in the second section. You'd never get that with Java.

Perhaps Signal just isn't for you. No one who I've introduced signal to has ever had a problem with it. Now if you add a randomly generated 128 bit account identifier, then people WILL have problems with it. Not with you, but with your mum/grandma.

I really think Signal might not be for you. Signal is not about building the most secure or private system, it's about building the first mass-market encrypted that that's Good Enough. Signal is a infinite percent improvement over plaintext/https. It's not supposed to be as good as OTR.
The problem of course being that those users that use the closed source Google browser and iOS won't care much about what Signal is offering either. They're already using Hangouts, iMessage and Signal is pretty much a downgrade from those.

You're prioritizing users who are willing to spam their friends about a product they can't even use.

I would be _far_ more likely to tell my friends about the product if I could actually use it and be able to vouch for it (as I have with the mobile version of TextSecure/Signal).

Forcing me to get my friends to visit a page where they will find out about an application they can't even use is just annoying.

Internet.org provides access to a subset of the internet that Facebook chooses to pay for. The target audience is mostly people that can't afford any internet access to the first place because it is to outrageously expensive. As well, that subset of the internet is open to developers to submit their own services to be supported by Internet.org [1]. Last time I glanced through the agreement, Facebook is just trying to avoid paying for HD photos and video downloads, which would increase the cost of Internet.org beyond feasibility.

An initiative can be charitable while also benefiting the donor. The users of Internet.org get free access to Facebook as well as the other services being provided and that doesn't detract from the service or make the whole initiative evil.

I have yet to see research that providing a zero-rating service is harmful as you suggest.

Case in point--I just got back into DragonRealms last night for the first time in over a decade now that they have a F2P option.

I thought I'd just spend an hour playing around in The Crossing and killing some rats with my warrior mage, and that turned into three hours where I mostly was trying to remember where things were and running branches back and forth to Mags to make some starter scratch.

But in those three hours I felt infinitely more addicted and immersed than I did in playing many more hours of Elder Scrolls Online, WoW, etc. While I need to find some ways of tweaking the Stormfront client more, there is truly something to be said from requiring imagination to enjoy the game.

Would be a nice enhancement if it was in vanilla Postgres, otherwise I don't quite put too much trust in this. Few real world queries are this simple and I don't think there are many gains left when executed against a more real-world TPC benchmark suite. But even if this was the case, it's probably better to take something better suited for this use case, like Redshift, BigQuery or Hive.

On top, my gut feeling tells me this company seems a little shady and their business model seems unclear to me. Are they for real?
I think he meant in the sense of low-level because of the language primitives offered versus what is possible with clojure (which lets you define your own essentially).

I won't argue that the language makes the framework popular. But if Wordpress serves 25% of the entire web, Facebook serves 1/7th of the entire world population every single day, and 500M people visit Wikipedia a month, clearly something about PHP works. Perhaps it attracts a certain kind of personality that gets things done, or perhaps its flexibility is what makes it successful, but to call the most influential programming language of this generation pig guts is willful ignorance.
