Just asking, have you gotten one of the Debian CTTE guys to file a top level proposal (just like the systemd proposal https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708).

I think you are one of the few people that truly understand the ecosystem and probably are the right person to influence this.

Incidentally, I had a pretty interesting bthread today on the question bwhether we will see a single package manager format on Linux. Wonder what your thoughts are...and in general the state of package management on Linux. Would you build Cydia on something else today?

We need stories - we always have - but now they can be a bit more abstract, or focused on other things.

Most art is storytelling though, so, I think the author just needs to tune into the insane amount of storytelling that happens now, even though most of it isn't focused on the stars.
"Build the hardware with 100% Arduino Compatibility"

That was his first mistake, :-) I like arduino for fast, quick and dirty stuff, but for a finished product, I'd rather try to do a closer to bare metal implementation. But otherwise, very cool project.

No need for a new DSL for js package management, most of the projects which use grunt/gulp should just be using npm package.json's scripts. If you need to do complex builds use a Makefile. The most established build DSL is bash and it still does the job better on most aspects than grunt/gulp.

Great piece. I also thing it is not a great idea to have students follow along with the demo. Just ask them to watch and ask questions first and then leave as much (if not more time) for them to go through the tutorial at their own pace. For example, when teaching Git I spend some time drawing out the workflow, then model a successful commit, and then ask everybody to follow suit at their own pace. At this time I would normally walk around and help any stragglers.

If you're doing node-style (cjs) modules, you can use something like proxyquire[1] with testing to inject dependencies without complicating your modules, or creating logical indirection. If the only reason you have DI is for testing in a scripted platform, you're probably doing something wrong.

You can write, compose and composite plain objects and pure functions in JS modules that can be tested very easily without resorting to complex DI systems (with naming disconnects even).

Sorry, I simply haven't been able to find them. However, the upshot was that in my FemCal app, loading several months of entered fertility cycles went from 100's-1000's of milliseconds to just a few 100's.

The overall speedup when loading was about 50x, when using NSArchive versus sqlite3. Neither implementation was or has been optimized, though I did try to write the sqlite3 code as efficiently as possible, since it was clearly a source of slowness from day 1.
Since the reflected points emanate from the (curved) scratches themselves, I would think that between the left and right eyes, each point would be slightly vertically misaligned (since each eye would see light from a different vertical point in each scratch, beside a different horizontal point).

I suppose you could eliminate this by drawing the scratches as if they were cross-sections of a Fresnel lens: i.e., at several points during the scratch, reposition the compass fulcrum vertically so that the needle remains at approximately the same vertical location.
Mariguana is most of the weight and the volume of cartel operations but Mexican intelligence analysts say it produces only a quarter of the revenue.

That leaves the majority of cartel revenue still viable as long as amphetamines are restricted. Opiates are a rising profit center as DEA policy blocks branded opioid distribution equally to addicts and chronic pain sufferers.

--

Parent describes legal marijuana businesses as targets for cartel violence because they do business in cash. Foreign cartels can't compete against local US gangs if that emerges as a racket. Also, it may become possible for mariguana businesses to use banks if cash starts driving crime. States may have to charter or run state banks eventually if federal officials continue to block the federal banks.

In any case there are no black markets as persistently profitable as the cartels' current drug business.

I agree. Highly assured systems of the past and recent academia built security on untrusted networks, storage, etc. Standards like Wifi are too broken to trust anyway. Best to depend on something at a higher level.

App Engine has a lot of faults, but your use case sounds incredibly niche. You're using the multiregion availability of App Engine's HTTP servers but want to use Heroku's single AZ database across relatively flaky, slow internet instead of App Engine's multiregion available database on a managed internal SDN. I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario where that setup would make sense.

The suggestion that violent Mexican drug cartels enjoy public support is an extraordinary claim that you should support with evidence. Polling suggests otherwise; cartel violence is one of the top concerns of the Mexican public.

The idea that organized crime syndicates that rape and murder men, women, and children might be seen as a symbol of independence from American oppression strikes me as an argument that might make sense in the airless vacuum of an Internet message board, and in no other place.

Gozo, why discuss written laws? Written laws are fabrications made to infuse artificial restrictions on things that exist in reality. Let's talk about intrinsic laws. Like the law of gravity or the Law Of Supply And Demand:

When you increase demand you increase the value of a product, when you increase supply you decrease the value of a product. Basic economics. Let's take this concept and apply it to money. If you print money you increase the money supply. When you increase the money supply you decrease the value of money.

Thus the action of counterfeiting is actually theft. By printing money you lower the value of other peoples' money and thus you are stealing value from other people. That's why counterfeiting is bad. Written laws on forgery and fraud don't cause this phenomenon they are a consequence of it.

The same academic principle works for piracy. Get it? You copy a product you devalue the product by increasing supply. These are principles of Basic economics and Intrinsic law that permeates the fabric of reality. In essence: When you pirate a product you are stealing it, there is no way around it.

Why is it not ok to pirate money but it's totally ok to pirate music? I'll tell you why. The issue touches the roots of humanity's morally ambiguous nature: When you pirate money, you harm everyone who owns money and face the ire of the entire population.

When you pirate music you harm only the creator of the music and you probably got a lot of friends who do the same thing. Significantly easier to do from an ethical standpoint. But how do you face yourself? What does a typical weak, cowardly human tell himself when he commits a crime? A typical human will create an overly-complicated and sophisticated logical delusion in order to justify the action to himself. Stupid logic like "downloading an mp3 makes me more likely to buy the track" are typical examples. In fact, you can likely witness a version of this overly-complicated logic in your response to this post.

Is that enough discourse for you? Yours is the lazy rebuttable without foundation in reality.
Hey guys,

Hope someone from CloudRail is here.
I'm not quite sure what problem this is trying to solve.
Do you have an example of where CloudRail would save me time, or complexity with an integration?

Minor note, but it's awesome that students outside network analysis courses are learning to use Gephi! It's such a cool and easy-to-use tool. I regretted not doing as much network theory in my CS education--I only really got into it after despite my favorite professor being a network theory researcher. Gephi makes playing around with graph datasets and transforming them into useful visual representations so easy--it's like the Excel of network theory, which is awesome. Despite the criticism often hurled at (and in many ways, rightly-deserved criticism) Excel, it is, if nothing else, accessible.

This sounds about right. This is why I don't believe in the "industry is more efficient than government" dogma. Large organizations of people are generally inefficient unless extraordinary care has gone into the engineering and maintenance of the organization.

OT, but that's one reason comments are important. Also in the alternative hypothetical where reading a byte at a time was required: if that's not documented someone might come along and thing that was merely incidental or even buggy behavior and change it. That's why I'm not sympathetic to programmers who think that they write "self-documenting" code or something. If you don't document (even briefly) what your code is supposed to do then bugs become diffuse things that no one is responsible for, and which are difficult to spot. </ramble>

I meant efficiency as in low spreads, not as in Fama.

I tried to state the mechanism directly, but apparently didn't do so very well. I could try again, but I think it'd be more effective to appeal to authority. Check out "The Race to Zero" by Andrew Haldane at the Bank of England (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/archive/Documents/historicpub...). It appears that the presence of too many low latency / high frequency players puts the market in a state where it can phase shift, crossing from normal "stable" dynamics to a dramatic spiking dynamic. In normal times, "HFT" increases liquidity and reduces spreads. Every so often those HFT players leave the market suddenly, nearly simultaneously, causing a liquidity crisis.

Note that many exchanges enforce a short pause in trading when the market seems to be going crazy. The delay appears to help, so long as traders don't move to a different exchange.

Great project! Keep it up.
I owned my decision when I got out of high school and supported myself. I asked my parents if they wanted to pay because they were so angry about my decision not to go to college. Then they were angry with my decision to go to college because I was beginning to be accomplished. I own that choice too. I didn't expect them to pay for anything. I've seen many people get pressured into professions that they are not happy with. I didn't follow that path, but, yes, I'm on my own.
Thanks. You've got to love the cluelessness of such a worthwhile Q&A being marked "not constructive" by the stack exchange moderators.
I don't know anything about oil, but it seems unrealistic to claim to be able to predict markets. Liquidating all your reserves at current price is unlikely to be seen as a wise move. (And wouldn't selling more oil than the US uses annually impact prices somehow?)

If you magically had knowledge of the range of prices over 10+ years you could do all sorts of money making things.

Edit: Looked into this a bit. Futures on oil 2 years out are already over $50. So "the market" is far less certain then the author. I'd also imagine quite a bit of damage to oil producers if the price stays low. After they shut down, why wouldn't the price rise?
I really hate that our legal system has, to a large degree, decided to a very, very narrow and very literal implementation of the Bill or Rights rather than going with the Spirit of the law. Civil asset forfeiture as practiced by the government is very clearly contrary to 5th amendment. But since it's using a bullshit legal loophole of suing the property and not the owner and doesn't violate the literal words it's A-OK!
If that was the main benefit then he would be much better going with any relational database. How many Mongo DBA do you know?
The idea is a single API for multiple services, so actually yes kind of a wrapper. So instead of getting familiar with different APIs and integrating multiple SDKs you can use the config tool to create a custom API which does exactly what you need. Eg "I need a function to upload a file to Dropbox, a function to like a page on Facebook and one to switch on the Philips Hue light". After integrating the CloudRail SDK, you'll see exactly that endpoint, even with you individual naming. So just one manual to read, one SDK to integrate and maintain.
This is really over the TOP hacking, thanks for sharing.
I was with you until "so that IP addresses finally can represent identity".

You don't mean actual (personal/account) identity, do you? IP addresses represent a location for delivery and they definitely identify a network interface, but that's the extent of goals for IP addressing. Courts have supported this view and I think that's a good thing. Sorry if I read too much into what you said. EDIT: spelling.
There is a potential flaw I spot in this piece. The author likens the self-liquidation strategy to what the big tobacco companies did. The problem I see with this is that tobacco is a luxury item. For many, oil is an every day necessity.

This leads into the liquidation issue. If companies such as BP were to liquidate, what would happen? The author mentions that non-oil countries should focus on providing resources and knowledge on oil extraction, but would that be enough to prevent price gouging? If there are no competitors selling oil, I could see the prices skyrocketing once the competition has liquidated all of their reserves. Would our knowledge, tools and "know how" be enough to prevent a monopoly on oil? Our only fallback would be to charge more on the services the author suggested we offer instead of oil.

>How can it be intrinsic if it's determined by external factors like supply and demand?

Well it depends on how you interpret the word intrinsic. You were inquiring about how written law could influence value, I was responding by saying value isn't determined by some made up law written by humans, it's determined by laws intrinsic to economics: The law of supply and demand.

>And if value is determined by cost,

When did I say value is determined by cost? Cost is only an indirect contributor. Value itself is determined by supply and demand.

>how come people still want it when it's free?

If something is free, it doesn't change how much people want the product. Value does not influence Demand. It is the otherway around: Supply and demand influence value. Thus whether I charge a billion dollars or zero dollars for the oxygen you breath, you'll still want it as much as you did before regardless of the value.

If I had a permanent token on my computer, and the server knew that token, or cookie.. Could I then compress data through a series of hashes that combined with my token?
Let's say I want to have that token on Machine A and Machine B is my proxy. Now A is telling B to download www.idsoftware.com/index.html and send it as a hash to A. Can I do that and shrink the data? Or will I have to zip it? I can do the latter, I just want to know if I can do it with the minimalism I'm trying to.
Thousands showed up to protest the arrest of el Chapo Guzmán last year [0]. The cartels fund schools, parks, businesses and public works in Mexico.

Of course, some communities also organize to fight against cartels with autodefensas. The federal government works to shut them down and leave them vulnerable. That just leaves more communities in the hands of cartels.

Polling is against cartels because most Mexicans live where cartels aren't based.

This seems more complicated than just using the original APIs, as none of the sample applications or StackOverflow questions you might find with a quick Google (for instance, creating a capability token with Twilio) would apply any more.

As thinkingkong asked, what's the use case?
I tend to see it a lot in python, go and rust as of late.
You might also look at https://github.com/nodesecurity/nsp

The Node.js ecosystem is still fairly immature with regard to formalized security, certainly in comparison to, say, the Java ecosystem. There just aren't as many people filing CVEs on packages as a part of vetting their stacks, and certainly far fewer people focused on that part of the security process.

To a certain degree tools are only going to be as good as the security environment. If people aren't filing CVEs at an appropriate pace given the level of vulnerability out there, and it takes a village, etc, etc, then no one group is going to be able to deliver a good security service on their own, since these services are individually (a) a megaphone and filter for a CVE RSS feed, and (b) a minor source of CVEs.
