FWIW, I absolutely intend to do this, and in the process ask for the name of the officer who refused me and that of the manager on shift. This means that if I hear that this is remotely likely to really happen, when I take flights I will need to leave a day earlier so I can "try again". I am seriously at the point where I am thinking of traveling to the one important conference outside of California that I speak at every year by car, which will be a 34 hour round trip to Colorado. The thing is: I don't think the TSA cares that I do any of this (they certainly don't care that I drive so many places, as they don't even know, but I also think the only way they care about me opting out is it makes their process slightly less efficient, so they turn to more invasive techniques and announce policy changes that further impose), so it doesn't quite feel like "standing up for my rights" as much as "taking it in the ass" :/.

I disabled ad-block but left tracking-blocker on and it still wouldn't let me in. At that point I figured it wasn't worth it.

They want to lose visitors, fine.

What they're forgetting is that people who have ad blockers also share and post links to various networks... they aren't just shutting out the ad-blockers, they're shutting out anyone the ad-blockers may be friends with. It's retarded, but it's their prerogative.

Incidentally, here's a great host file blocker for programs that run ads but don't support ad-block plugins.

If you're fine with the pat down but not the body scanner and you're refused, turn around and go home.

Or, say, turn around and stay where you are instead of going home.

I do get the pat down pretty regularly, but I can't say for certain that I'd cancel an entire flight (and take the hit to either my professional reputation (outbound) or delay getting home to my family (return)) to stand up for this. That's not even considering the financial hit - I doubt the airlines would be sympathetic and waive the $100+ rebooking fee they've started charging.

I get the principled stand you're trying to make, but there's quite a few gray areas here.

Having moved to PHP nine years ago after being unable to find .NET work I have to say it was the right thing to do. The jobs are STILL bountiful, and I can knock out a prototype in PHP in no time flat. There have been a couple instances in the last few months where I built a prototype in a couple hundred lines of PHP then take what I learned and rewrite it as a several thousand line Go application.

I'd argue PHP truly shines on the command line, when I need a script that does what I need and quick. OS X comes with PHP built in and this is wonderful. The invention of phar's akin to Java Jars has made these even more portable, such that you can include all dependencies in a single file.
Demonization can be a form of glorification. Consider for example the following two paragraphs:

"He was slick, convincing several security guards he was a wayward contractor on his way to meet the department head. Thermal cameras in the server room defeated by a homemade polyester shield, it took only twenty minutes to extract BigCo's financial records. Having slipped in under the noses of corporate security like the most adept of rats, he skittered away in the anonymity of directions to the bathroom leaving no trace of his visit."

"The felon broke into the store through its back door window using a crowbar. They stole two empty registers and a safe, ransacking the building in their search for anything of value. Ramir was frustrated when he came in the next morning after, yet remains optimistic. "We may have been robbed, but we know that we're going to come out on top in the long run." The suspect is known from security footage to have fled the scene in a green pickup truck. If you have any information related to this crime..."

You get a very different picture of these two peoples competence just from the way they're depicted and the kind of crime they commit.

Data Science IPython Notebooks
I love surcouf. I cannot wait to read this book.
There are certain objects called elliptic curves. In a form called "affine", they look like y^2 = (some degree three polynomial in x). When you let x and y take values in several different fields (a field is an algebraic object in which you can add, subtract, divide, and multiply), we call solutions (x,y) of the elliptic curve points on the curve. After some work, you can determine that points on the curve form an abelian group, that is, an algebraic structure with a single invertible operation that looks like addition (i.e. a+b=b+a for points a and b on the curve). After more work, we have concluded that the structure of this abelian group looks like some finite copies of the integers plus some finite copies of the integers modulo m. The copies of the integers modulo m is called the torsion subgroup and the number of copies of the integers is called the rank of the elliptic curve.

From a very different direction, to each elliptic curve we can associate something called an L-function, which is analogous to the Riemann zeta function. Through a bunch of other work, we have determined that the L function of an elliptic curve looks like a certain infinite product that in fact converges, and this L-function has an analytic continuation. If we expand this L-function as an infinite polynomial around 1 (a Taylor expansion you may rememember from calculus), then it looks like c(s-1)^r + (higher order terms). This "r" in the expansion is called the analytic rank of the elliptic curve.

The BSD conjecture is that the analytic rank (the exponent in this L series expansion) equals the rank (the number of copies of the integers in the elliptic curve's abelian group).

And what is that obvious and intuitive thing?

Are you complaining about the need for a "-f" flag? If so, I'll agree, tar could take files the same way cat does. Tar's showing its age here, and would get a better interface without it.

But all the other flags are there for a reason, are the obvious mnemonic choices, and are the same ones used on other similar commands.
A disclosure does not allow you to make a blanket statement like "Perhaps the first AWS mistake you might make is... using AWS?".

Reply by kawsper to your comment highlights several drawbacks of Linode. Specifically this feedback "Your API is a mess, and so is your documentation. Everything is GET-requests. And creating a new instance, shouldn't take 11 requests" alone, if true, is sufficient for me to not consider Linode for hosting. As being in an ultra small team of 2, we can't afford the luxury of API requests failing so many times.

Having used AWS since 2010, and since 2007 for backups(s3), I can say that your comparison $20,000 in AWS vs $250 is wrong. Have you assumed a very foolish selection by a user? Where in a user will just pick up all their services (e.g. RDS for a DB, etc.)

Just as a fact, we don't use RDS but install MySql by ourselves as it allows us to have other things on that instance, and also comes out cheap in comparison. On this note my contribution to the OP (article) would have been bundle different services on an instance, rather than buying stereotyped instances. Of course YMMV.

The biggest advantage is for ultra small teams, where you have comfort of a stable environment, with respect to instances launching; APIs working; volumes getting attached/unattached; snapshots getting taken; backups done on s3. All taking place automatically, while you rest peacefully.

I am not arguing that apples to apples Linode (or some other service) will not be cheaper than AWS. I am sure it will be. But still many people would like to stick with AWS because of stability and maturity of its cloud.

Also you got to give credit to AWS for pioneering hourly billing, and disrupting the cloud environment. Despite agreeing with you mainly on the cheaper point, when I moved to AWS from dedicated hosting in 2010, my monthly bills reduced.

Lastly. The experimentation. The wide variety of instances it has from micro (to the recently launched nano) to ultra large instances, allow you to experiment a lot. For example: in the past few months: I moved from couple m3.large to couple c4.xlarge, while experimenting in between on c3.xlarge type of instances.

Finally, when you make such a blanket statement, you not only demonstrate your naivete but also undermine the decisions of thousands of satisfied AWS users.

All said, I would like you (Linode) and others to be a good alternative. I am glad you are there. This is to keep AWS on its toes. Which is in my interest as their customer.

PS: Lest my handle makes someone think, I represent AWS. Please be assured I do not. I just created this handle, when I had to ask an AWS specific question (you can check my first post in this handle). And then continued with it for other things.

I'd rather they serve their ads from their own server, then I'd never encounter their ad-blocker-blocker.

I'm not actually running an adblocker, I'm running RequestPolicy and NoScript. Forbes.com and forbesimg.com are allowed as are requests between them, but I'm not going to go through and individually allow requests out to multiple other sites just to see which one is serving ads (though I suspect it's the permanently-marked-untrusted doubleclick.net).
I was departing MSP once, a few days before the Republican National Convention was going to take place. One of the clowns made smalltalk with me and the RNC came up. She mentioned she wasn't looking forward to dealing with all the traffic through the airport. I said, "Well, you don't have to work here, you know?". She just gave me this withering look, and I walked away with a smile on my face. I sincerely hope I ruined her day. For all the man-hours and money she and those in her position throw down the toilet every day, one ruined day seems like small payback.

Fuck the TSA.

The radiation may not be that much, relatively speaking. But it's all focused on your skin.

Plus, this kind of radiation exposure hasn't been tested on humans for long. I'd feel better about being scanned had these scanners been in use for 20 years without many adverse effects reported. As it stands, the jury's still out. And I'd personally rather wait a little longer in line and get a pat down than take a chance with my health.

I opt out of the scans pretty regularly. Of course, I'm in the queue for getting tsa precheck now, so hopefully it won't be for long.

For me, it's not a radiation thing. It's more about a kind of semi-philosophical objection to the idea that people should look at naked pictures of me in order to provide the illusion of safety. AIT (advanced imaging technology) seems to be the quintessence of snake oil - we're told we need it and any real research into its efficacy is discouraged (still though, there's indications that metal detectors were probably better at catching threats).

My point is, neither you nor the TSA want to be there.

Unfortunately, that's the pablum my doctor said. I have not been following my doctor's advice, as it is generally scientifically bad. I haven't went all in what was said.

All meats are safe, as long as they are relatively unprocessed. When processing adds corn starch, sugar, or other carbohydrates is when the meats are not good for me.

Cauliflower is perfect for me. It's also how I make "mashed potatoes". Find a frozen bag of cauliflower and cook it. Let it dry out a bit, and add butter and heavy whipping cream, and blend. 0g carb mashed potatoes.

Also, How I have been testing food is "test -> eat -> blood glucose test every half hour for 3 times". Now that I have data on about 70% of what I normally eat, I don't have to test those foods.

I'm much healthier now that I'm following a low carb diet of my own design. I'm eating about 0-15 g carbs a day. Surprisingly, it's similar to Atkins, but with the blood-glucose meter component. I can scientifically say that I'm doing better with regards to that dimension.

In Chisinau (the capital), where I spent roughly a year, I would say that you hear Russian even a little more than Romanian (although there are definitely more Romanian speakers and people really like it when you try to speak Romanian). I would say the actual ratio in Chisinau is 65/35 in favor of Romanian speakers, but you tend to hear Russian a little more because the Romanian speakers learn Russian, but the Russian speakers don't learn Romanian nearly as often. The other city I lived in, Balti, has a much larger percentage of Russian speakers.

I didn't know Romanian beforehand though, so going with Russian was easy enough. I did work with some other Americans who learned Romanian and didn't have the easiest time in Moldova just speaking Romanian. They would often run into people who only spoke Russian and they had no way to communicate. As a Russian speaker in my two years this happened very rarely to me and then it was usually only people from villages and young kids (even then they were familiar with Russian and I picked up enough Romanian to communicate).

It's a very interesting dynamic in the country between the two languages. It's not as controversial a topic as some people would have you believe. People definitely like hearing Romanian more (for the Romanian speakers), but they are ok with Russian too. I got yelled at one time by a drunk guy on the bus for speaking Russian, but literally everyone else on the bus defended me and the guy I was talking too. They all knew we were Americans based on accent haha. Overall though, it's not that hard to immerse yourself in Russian in Moldova in the bigger cities, but if you already knew Romanian you would have to be disciplined because it is still widely spoken.

Michelangelo Van Dam Talks in Details about PHP and Community
Ask HN: Is asset building as a service (ABaaS) a good idea?
I have this idea which I think is a killer, revolutionary, amazing idea but not sure if I'm right or just insane. Create a service that accepts a list of Javascript dependencies (from either NPM or GitHub), minifies them, combines them, and returns them to you in one file, in a RESTful API. Like this:

POST https://assetbuildservice.com/assets

assets[]=github.com/foobar/package1&assets[]=github.com/bazquz/package2

302 Redirect

Location: https://assetbuildservice.com/assets/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d325

GET https://assetbuildservice.com/assets/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d325?prod=1

200 OK

/* Ref: https://assetbuildservice.com/assets/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d325
* AssetBuildService.com built your assets! */
(function(a,b,c){d,e,f=0,0,1,...

The ABaaS would know how to make RequireJS play nice with AMD/CommonJS in one project, and other JS projects that don't use a requiring system. But that's it. It doesn't know how to transpile other languages to JS or do anything fancy with dependency trees -- it just creates a flat file that combines every dependency. It's too dumb to figure out what order they go in too, so you'd have to experiment with that in your API calls. It could be an open source library that's also hosted on a community-funded server.

What do you think? Useful or useless?
