I'm sorry, but I think the phrase "clamor for sanitization of their daily internet lives" is very much undermining the problem of people who are receiving death and rape threats by the ton on a daily basis. And further, I cannot, at all, look down on them for wanting that to go away.

Well I've been in the SF tech community for a long time and can't say I've experienced any superficial or dehumanizing things at parties. There are certainly jerks in the tech community, but there are jerks everywhere. If you avoid the jerks, you'll probably have a good time.
I don't understand why this is being downvoted - it's correct.

It is the case that banks pick up the tab for transactions where the card is present, hence the move to EMV chips. However, merchants have liability for transactions where the card is not present, i.e. every Stripe transaction.
"I find that hard to believe."

You're probably not a woman in the tech field on the internet, then.

"and if they aren't - what kind of stuff are you spewing out that makes so many people waste their time getting angry with you?"

Stuff like women should simply be treated equally.
We use a super script that calls ansible. We have multiple AWS accounts and multiple environments within them and it's tricky to avoid repetition of configuration without an external tool. I see it as a good practice.

The different cascading layers of variables can be hard to reason about, but it does lead to a good amount of DRY.
Dave Kopel wrote a thorough response to Burger's comments here:

I can't find any indication that Saunders has any expertise in American law in general or firearms law in particular (his web page doesn't even mention any college degree), but statements like "Until 2002, every U.S. president (sic) and government had declared that the Constitution’s Second Amendment did not provide any individual right for ordinary citizens to own firearms" are categorically false (most Presidents and Congresses have been mute on the subject).
Online transactions using Visa's 3DSecure/Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode will shift liability to consumer though.
I've always wondered this. Why not have .py and .py3 extensions, and require the python 3 interpreter to fall back to Python 2? That would also solve the problem of
"which version of Python is this script I found written in?"
For the moment Passwordless (http://passwordless.net) seems like the next closest option in terms of not storing password systems and keep auth work minimal. It doesn't have the "single sign on" benefits of cross-domain authorization that Persona could have provided and it does still require you to run your own SMTP or SMS connections (as opposed to relying on login.persona.org for that).

It certainly sounds like people are considering alternative providers to login.persona.org if you wanted to keep using Persona/BrowserID, but I'm not sure how well received any of them might be without a good branding stance like Mozilla Persona mostly [1] had.

[1] Arguably it is a failed brand at this point with almost no consumer recognition, but still better than no brand.
What you say has merit, yet it sidesteps and ignores the deeper, more troubling issues: is it possible to go Asimov Three Laws of Robotics? Is it possible to specify ethical and moral coding precisely, programmatically?

That car example is just a stand-in for an entire class of ethical and moral dilemmas coming out of it. Let's look at it from a different angle. There is a hospital in Oregon who are trying to squeeze more profits, so much so that they induced doctors working there to unionize. The hospital promptly dropped their attempt at outsourcing. It won't be last attempt at this. As the pressure for profits increases, and as machine learning technology gets more advanced, there will come a point when it is the AI that makes the judgement call on who lives or dies. Who is going to program that? Are software engineers necessarily all that better in creating systems that computes the optimal outcome that includes both ethics and morals, than say, lawmakers or philosophers?

Are you really OK with having moral choices taken out of your hand and given to a computer, assuming that whomever wrote the code actually knew what they were doing and didn't make mistakes?

From this frame, what you are suggesting is that a properly designed computer is better at making moral and ethical judgements than humans.
I don't get it. Where does this need to be on stage, and be in the middle of everything, and have everyone know you come from? If I was Einstein's brother, nobody would know and I wouldn't care -- and thus this situation wouldn't happen. Maybe I'm too far from the whole 'scene' to understand. I guess it's unfortunate for Noah that he looks pretty similar to his brother because people figure it out on their own. And it's genuinely too bad he's had such a rough past few years - much rougher than it should have been.

I am not an expert in regards to FORTH so I'd have to let someone with more experience say. FORTH from what I know has been around since at least the Z80 days. But honestly, I do not know if it carries more or less baggage, nor whether it is really more portable.

All the embedded work I have done has mostly been C with a little more C++ in the recent years, outside of some machine level stuff for highly specialized devices. So just from that, at least in my experience C is the more common, portable and easily worked with language.
And what guarantees we have that when they ( or any number of other OSS vendors ) include OpenSSH into their product, it isn't some boopytrapped variant? Oh wait, it's open source, so we can go and find out? Anyone?

No, but using a 'real' programming language doesn't force you to write in a declarative style unless you use something like a pure functional language and before you know it people would start making a mess in their playbooks using the whole power of Python. Ansible is awesome for devops precisely because it restricts what you can do and forces you to try to do things in a consistent declarative (and hence idempotent) style, which is important to devops.

That is a failure of SF transit. It takes 30m to get from the west to the east side of SF already. 20m to get to the mission from pac heights with an uber, 45m with muni! For east side SF friends in the mission, oakland is closer than ocean beach.
Absolutely. If big name stores, health insurers, and even banks can barely keep their machines secure, then I have no faith that Random J. Company, Inc. is going to keep their customer data secure.
Because this is implemented by a major, very popular e-mail provider, it effectively reveals your real e-mail address to spammers, who can just look for this pattern in any address in the '@gmail.com' domain and strip away the + part. It will keep only the "honest" bulk mailers out of your inbox, not hard-core spammers.

This type of thing can work, but only for a small-time service provider whose plaintext encoding scheme is not widely known. (Security thorugh obscurity.) Even the hard-core spammers won't sift through millions of e-mail addresses to crack some plain text scheme that is used by two or three of them.

Also, you need the option to permanently destroy one of these, so that you never see mail from it again. No filtering bullshit. Google should control the exact set of anonymized addressees attached to your account. When you destroy any one of them, any further attempt to send to it should result in a non-delivery notice (SMTP bounce).
No, as answered by a Stripe employee.

I haven't seen it first hand, but lots of our current customers ditched them (and others) after working with their APIs or lack thereof (#xml).

In general, ACH just wasn't built to accommodate "platforms" as an entity in the transaction cycle. Banks, while although cheap, have a problem reconciling their infrastructure and processes with today's expectations. Not to mention their services don't package or include other compliance required to leverage ACH legally (KYC, OFAC, reporting, reject handling, etc.).

Bottom-line: ACH and traditional providers are not suitable options for today's platforms. Among others, banks are hemorrhaging ACH-related business to companies like Stripe and Dwolla.
Also, there might be more than one criteria to optimize for.. shortest travel time? fewest moves?
Not to the same degree. In Canada the default is federal primacy, with specific powers delegated to the provinces - "merely local or private" in the constitution, 16 specific subject areas in the Constitution Act of 1867, federally-appointed lieutenant governors' powers of disallowance and reservation. In the US state primacy is the default, with specific powers delegated the other way by our own constitution. The in-practice truth is much messier than that, of course, but this difference in basic philosophy and constitutional phrasing puts the two on opposite sides of an important line.
"A first-ever robotic mission to identify, capture and redirect a near-Earth asteroid to a stable orbit around the moon, where astronauts will explore it in the 2020s."

Which kernel, and did you file a bug report?

e: To anyone not up on btrfs, its features are closely tied to the kernel version it's used with. For example, raid56 scrub and device replace, and recovery and rebuild code were not available prior to kernel 3.19.

I also believe the only way to use 5/6 modes before they were stable was to explicitly compile with them enabled. It wasn't just something you could accidentally do.
I don't think you're the only one. I ran saltstack with my containers for awhile, but it just created too many dependencies (as you notice yourself) and made the build process difficult.

I find that if I keep things in bash the images become more "dumb" and therefore more portable.

In lieu of a caching API you might find a package cache (apt-cacher-ng, squid, etc) will help speed up installs a lot. I found one image that was pulling down almost 5 GB with every build!
Ah, that might indeed be it. I was working with ffmpeg so the configuration was rather easy and transparent.
Wow, what a touching, yet sobering story. It sounds almost as if people used him as a stand-in for Aaron. The tragic part of it is that the only way he could really get away from it is to either disassociate himself from Aaron and the people who know about him (kinda hard considering Noah seems to be involved in the tech field also) or to become even bigger than Aaron (a daunting task which shouldn't be necessary). I wish Noah the best of luck establishing his own identity.
It's mentioned in PEP0394 that some older distros did not have python2 even though python 2.X was installed. Since RedHat still supports a release with Python 2.4 as the default, I guess it might still crop up on some boxen, at least for another year until RHEL 5 reaches end-of-life.

Assuming python points to python2 will also break stuff, though, there are more bleeding-edge OS's where python points to python3 and has done so for years (e.g. ArchLinux).
The only good argument here is the self-control one; if you don't trust yourself not to burn through the money foolishly and then end up penniless within a decade, the structured payment is probably a good idea. The one that you'll end up with more money in the end, though, is not. It should be trivial to find investments that can bring you more than three percent a year.

Set aside a single-digit percentage of the lump sum for some immediate fun, then invest the rest and live off the returns. As long as you have the discipline to rarely, if ever, dip into the lump, you're good to go.
He wrote it happened mostly with people he considered friends already, those people would definaty know who hi was and would brag about it to have him at their party.
in my opinion, most all highly intelligent individuals - especially those in the public eye - must have one

I think I understand this. I used to run a small but active online community. So not fame at all, not even "guy in a tiny band that has 15 people show up for their shows" famous. Less than that even. But sometimes I'd go to parties and people would know who I was and I didn't know them. That kind of thing.

And I did start to develop a hint of a persona. Like you say it was kind of a must. Having strangers that know who you are coming up and talking to you is definitely flattering and also definitely a bit intimidating so you quickly develop a... a mode you go into or something.

Not a calculated Raoul Duke thing at all. In my case it was more like the different "personas" any person has - the personality you wear at work vs. the one you wear around your parents vs. the one you wear around your significant others. I was always being myself, but you definitely calibrate yourself a little differently for different groups.
awesome - very well written m8
Not necessarily. BBVA has already this with Dwolla's real-time payment tech, FiSync. (Limited, I know, but it's the only cool proof of concept like it out in the wild)

Also, there's been a lot of work done through the Fed's remittance coalition on a supradirectory for destinations. Adding authentication capabilities would be the next logical step and they've already committed to using open standards (lots of ISO stuff to compete with though). Combined with whisperings of big bank projects and JP Morgan's CEO very vocal hatred for screen scraping, Oauth could be a powerful and quick-to-market alternative.
>In short, this solution from Stripe fills a niche, but it's a very narrow one.

Not too sure about that. Klarna in Europe has a similar system called SOFORT in a lot of countries processing millions of transactions [0]. According to a german article, they processed 2.4 billion euros in 2013 [1]

iDEAL using a similar system (officially provided by banks though) is the most popular payment method in the Netherlands [2].

There is probably a big market for bank transfers with instant confirmation for the merchant. I agree with you though that it is a niche in the US, because credit cards are so common. Expansion in the EU would've probably allowed them to access a bigger potential market.

What do you mean you can just make them up as you go along?

Suppose I have two users in my domain: bob@mydomain, alice@mydomain.

How can alice just make up a new @mydomain address which goes to alice@mydomain? Okay, that part is simple: we can have an entire space of these generated by a rule, like gmail's addr+whatever@gmail.com.

But then how does alice invalidate such an address that is misused?

I want it so that any address that is not valid generates an SMTP bounce; I don't want an infinite space of aliases that map to an address to all be considered valid, but a specific set, controlled by the user. When an element is removed from that set, then further attempts to send to it generate SMTP bounces.

Furthermore, I want it to be completely anonymized, just like Throttle are doing, as in:

<random-chars>@mydomain -> alice@mydomain

The text "alice" doesn't appear in the plaintext anywhere, and cannot be reversed out of the local part.

EDIT:

To solve one of these problems, what we can do is assign to each user some random identifier of fixed length, from which further addresses can be generated. For instance alice@mydomain also gets "xZa3f@mydomain" when the account is created. To this local part, arbitrary characters can be appended: "xZa3f4abPspamming.dickheads.com@mydomain" such that this still routes to alice@mydomain. Doesn't handle the SMTP-level invalidation requirement though.

My thoughts exactly. RevealJS is missing some of the features that 2sli.de is advertising, but the foundation (e.g. socket.io, multiplex-plugin) to develop these plugins for revealjs is already there.
Presentations should be presentations and handouts should be handouts is a really nice idea for many circumstances. And utterly impractical for many of those circumstances. Even getting decent speaker notes into a presentation is often tough to get people to do.

(One of) the problems is that if you're asking me to do a presentation, you're now also asking me to create a second document. It's not actually all that difficult (and I've done it) but it does take an extra piece of work--which might take a day or two--which goes beyond the initial scope.

This person is clearly not familiar with the militantly computer ignorant segment of the user base. Yes, there are ways to write instructions to they are better/easier to follow, and yes there are plenty of examples of software that is out there that's just absurdly and unnecessarily hard to use. BUT, there is also a large segment of the user base out there that is willfully ignorant of how computers work and do not want to learn. They want the IT people to come down and do it for them, and they will make it happen no matter how many times they need to bounce back clear and simple directions to the help desk.

I'm not saying the author is one (certainly doesn't sound like it) or that it's even a majority, I'm just saying that when I do need to call for tech support, I understand exactly why they tend to act the way they do and don't take it personally. Some people are just rock stupid and some of that group willfully remain so.

Does that mean all the elitism around IT people is warranted? Of course not, part of your job as support is working with people who you know, NEED SUPPORT. If you aren't down for that job then you really shouldn't have applied, and you shouldn't be treating everyone like an idiot even when you're pretty sure they are. That's what you're paid to do.
You're correct about impacts of popular crates, this is why crater is so important. A nice benefit is that popular crates should also have more attention on them, since they're popular, so if they are hit by a soundness issue, it should be addressed quickly.

I think many mac users here would find Phoenix[1] to be a decent solution. I've shared my config as a gist[2], which is somewhat inspired by (a subset of) the features of Optimal Layout[3], which I used for years before recently switching to Phoenix. My config code is not particularly DRY and almost certainly has memory leaks. Mainly, I wanted to get something working, the way I wanted. I'll clean it up... at some point.

Yes they are. There's a reason why product managers exist.

I think I would highlight the following features:
* Interactions: last time I checked RevealJS does not offer any kind of interactions. It tends to be hosted as static HTML files, so you need some kind of logic to process interactions
* Control: Although I believe slides.com allows phone as remote, a user-hosted reveal JS presentation would not.
* Ease of use - many users don't want to edit HTML files. Even I didn't want to keep editing HTML files.

However, I agree that RevealJS is great and I did use it in my lectures after I gave up powerpoint!
Probably bad wording by me. Cpp vs c has been benchmarked so extensively that it would be big news if C was quicker than Cpp at anything. Cpp is often faster though because of inlining of templates. Finally c is mostly just a subset of cpp. Its difficult to see how compiling the same code would be slower with a cpp compiler.
