Apache Traffic Server has support for native C++ plugins which allow you to make transformations to the headers and the body as the request and response passes through it. ATS's power comes mainly from these plugins, I would say, rather than just a reverse caching proxy.

I enjoyed the program for the most part. I come from a life sciences background and found the biology based courses to be slightly boring/review. The CS courses were definitely challenging for me, I only had minor programming experience in Python going in.

However, I would avoid doing it 100% online if possible. Courses that were review for me and/or did not require detailed discussion I would not mind taking online again. The harder courses are a different story, as well as courses that require extensive discussion. It is really difficult to troubleshoot complex problems over blackboard.
>Who would you think is smarter off the cuff, a Harvard graduate, or someone who attended an accredited community college and followed it with a masters from an accredited online school?

"Smarter off the cuff"? After reading about Harvard's interview and admissions process, combined with their 98% 6-year graduation rate, I wouldn't think much about a Harvard graduate without speaking to them.

>I'm sad to say that I've been programmed to assume that the Harvard graduate is smarter.

Programmed by who?

I should like to know if Nim can be used for machine learning or for deep learning. How could be located Nim in comparison to Julia, numpy, Torch7 and the tools for deep learning and AI that many big companies are open sourcing.
Cycling's a big part of my life. I've been involved in advocacy groups, racing organizations, commuted most of my life, etc. I'm also a fairly smart guy. I recognize the difference between being out training fast/racing, and riding my bike to work. The two things have different applications, and I do them in appropriate settings.

I think I'm a pretty great cyclist, and by great I mean that I know when to do what, and consider my impact on those around me as much as myself.

The problem here is this is just one example of the problem with police abuse in general. Police should be capable of not defaulting to biases against groups of people because they need to be by their job description. Whether that's "all bikers are entitled and actively dangerous" or "all blacks are suspicious unless otherwise proven", the sentiment is the same. They must be held to a higher standard of judgment because of the authority they are given.

PS - If everyone gave up cycling because they didn't want to be associated with those who do it poorly, not only would that be a shame, it'd leave nothing but the belligerents you speak of.

So the solution is basically "teach to the test" for teachers? I don't agree.

The problems in our education system go way, way beyond teacher quality. Several of my friends are teachers, they're brilliant people, and they're hindered by the very structure of the system: standardized testing, unions, the very notion that one person lecturing to 20 students - a "push" educational supply system really works. We have the internet now... I prefer to pull what I want to know when I need to know it.

Remember that the U.S. education system has only really been around for what? 150 years? Our species has been learning for 10,000 years.. we got along OK before it. We shouldn't take anything about that system as holy writ.

How much institutional learning do we use in our everyday lives? I would argue very little, and that the best way to learn how to do a job is generally to go do it, and to ask questions along the way.
"most people are passive", that's probably true and why we have lessons for all subjects for the majority.

Thanks for engaging. I'm not trying to argue for the sake of argument, I'm honestly still stuck on this point. It seems like you have a different understanding of what a super intelligent AI is. To me, that is when there is an AI with all the intellectual faculties of a human except with much faster processing speed and greatly enhanced memory. In this case, there would be nothing a human can do that cannot be done by such an AI (assuming you give some AIs a humanoid robot body). Perhaps the AI could help improve the human species so that we "catch up" to the AI in intellect. I don't see how this is anything like the God of the gaps fallacy, I'm not claiming AI created the universe or any other such claims.
Definitely, eDSL would be better than having to write a parser. It would make interoperating with JS, programmatically building easier, and did I mention you don't have to write a parser!?

> Personally I am quite sick and tired of that particular "take" on Nim - why not for once criticize other parts of the language? :)

Because I'm not interested in criticizing languages as a whole—that would be language warring for no reason. Claims of memory safety are what are important to me, just as, for example, claims of correct crypto constructions are important to crypto people.

Anyway, I see no reason to go further here, given that nobody has claimed anything is memory safe.

Sacca was absolutely right. It's bizarre that Paul Graham thinks anyone appearing on Shark Tank is doing it as a substitute to traditional fundraising. It's entertainment, not investing, and it's fantastic exposure for the participants.

Telling people to do something like YC instead of Shark Tank is like telling people to do YC instead of appearing on The Tonight Show.
> That used to be the case, but now corporations require you to pass their own exam before they hire you.

You mean an ... interview?!

Ok, that was purposely obtuse, but I don't see how an extension of a company's interview process (ensuring, through their own testing, that candidates meet the proper qualifications without school bias) is a bad thing. Or how it signals an 'inevitable disruption of modern higher ed'. Would you mind expanding on that a bit?

To me, that helps keep schools honest and continuously adapting their curriculum's, while ensure that the best candidate gets the position, regardless of the institution they attended.
Doesn't that go back to the 90-9-1 principal. 90% consume, 9% minimally contribute(like stuff) and 1% actually contribute.
In my opinion, the problem with high school is due to the large amount of wasted time. So many classes had dozens of days if not the large majority of the time spent on nothing or busy work. Busy work is a large part of bureaucratic organizations where most of the cogs will end up, but it shouldn't be the goal.

I think many high school courses could be pushed down into earlier education and a great deal of knowledge a university provides could be offered there.

"Are you trying to be the 'typical' American who portrays 'facts' about other countries that are nothing of the sort?"

The facts are that Australia has high taxes and is much more expensive than the US. The numbers I gave might not be 100% accurate, but it's still a fact.

"Also, sales tax is included in our prices unlike the US."

I would rather have sales tax separated. Why? I've seen so many people bitching about why certain products are more expensive in Australia, and commonly blame the company.

In reality, they should be blaming the government. Merging the prices allows politicians to raise taxes without the citizens actually knowing the true amount.

The same thing happens with the gas tax in the US. So many people bitch about the cost, yet have no idea that taxes account for a big portion of it.

Work on the 'take the firing well' part. Letting someone go despite whatever issues are at hand should be a way to look for a win-win situation. A former staff member that feels let down or mistreated will talk about your company in negative terms, which for a company of 20 people is going to be a fairly significant risk even with the PII.

An ideal situation is that you're getting rid of a B player that isn't a good fit for your company's future. You want him to talk to A players he knows positively and suggest that they would work well at your company despite it not being right for him.
Paul Graham said something similar in his essay How to Start a Startup[0], though he's referring to how driven these students are to succeed, and being surrounded by like-minded people.

> It's no coincidence that startups start around universities, because that's where smart people meet. It's not what people learn in classes at MIT and Stanford that has made technology companies spring up around them.

>creating two classes of people: givers and receivers, us and them.

You get the same effect with basic income. Those who pay more in taxes than basic income gives and those who don't. You could effectively create a negative income tax that gives the exact same payouts as basic income.

x is income, b is basic income, F(x) is tax someone has to pay at x income under the basic income scheme, G(x) is the tax scheme someone has to pay out without basic income that includes some negative taxes.

If G(x) = F(x) - b, then x + b - F(x) = x - G(x). Yes, they are coded up on law a bit differently, but the outcome on everyone's pay would be the same. All that is different is the talking points. Kinda like how people are charged higher tax rates for not having children currently in the US.

Far more important than the parachutes is the atmosphere. Even without parachutes, the atmosphere is responsible for almost all of the deceleration the capsule experiences. The atmosphere takes it from orbital velocity (~30,000 m/s EDIT: ~8,000m/s (km/h->m/s conversion fail)) and slows it down to the terminal velocity of the capsule (~100 m/s). The capsule only has to take care of that last bit from terminal velocity down to 0 m/s.

On the moon, there is no atmosphere, so the capsule would have to handle all the deceleration from lunar orbital velocity (~2,000 m/s) to 0. So, in ballpark figures, you're looking at 20 times more 'delta V' (change in velocity) that the capsule would have to accomplish in order to land on the moon. It takes _way_ more fuel to manage that.

They would be super low risk because everyone would have a guaranteed way of paying them every month. If you have to ask why they aren't low risk now then I assume you have no experience in being broke and not being able to make rent. High demand with unmatched supply means higher prices. Rates can influence demand but if you take the majority of rental properties out of the market because people sell them due to low rental demand it will sort itself out.

A classic tale of engineering gone wrong. Apropos, I designed high-efficiency 20 KHz inverters for the Space Shuttle crew quarters, flight hardware that ended up working flawlessly. But during the design phase, the primary Shuttle contractor revealed that my inverters would be exposed to much higher voltages than they had originally supposed.

When I saw this, I realized we would have to start over and choose different components able to tolerate the higher voltages. My managers disagreed, arguing that if we caused problems, we would be denied a follow-on contract for similar inverters to be deployed in the payload bay. The managers composed a reply to NASA in which there was no problem, things were fine, let's forge ahead.

I was a mere engineer, I had no management authority, and I hadn't been consulted about the reply. When I heard about it, I sat down and wrote a letter of resignation and pushed my letter into more hands than was absolutely necessary. I made some comparisons that at the time might have seemed over the top (like the Apollo file that killed three astronauts, a disaster resulting from lax oversight).

In my case, because of my having distributed the letter farther than was absolutely necessary, my managers were forced to reverse themselves, I was able to redesign my inverters in a safe way, and we got the follow-on contract in spite of not being seen as "team players".

Many years later, at the time of the Challenger disaster, it finally dawned on me that, had I disregarded the overvoltage issue as my managers had wanted me to, and if something had gone wrong, I would have been held personally responsible, because I was the only person with the level of technical knowledge required to make the call, and my managers could disavow any responsibility. At the time, I made the right decision, but for reasons that I hadn't fully thought out -- if my equipment had failed in-flight, I would have been held responsible, and that would have been a perfectly just outcome.
> With no structure, most people flounder.

I find the opposite -- it is impossible for me to get any kind of complex learning done while I am on a structured course. It's telling that I learned more in three weeks of being ill and choosing to passively read books on mathematics (While coughing my guts up, of course), than I did actively participating in a course. (The only reason I am participating in the course is because I need a bit of paper that says I can do foo. A few people working in foo field have said I am at their level, it's just mindless inane hoop-jumping.)

> Most people are passive. They want a teacher to lead them and guide them through the learning process.

Exactly, but IMO that is the fault of the schooling system itself. They've never had to learn anything themselves, because everything they know has been spoon-fed to them by their teachers. If we had a better (Differently structured) education system, then this would not be necessary.

Although I do not see much hope for this happening, both Russell and Whitehead made attempts to improve the learning systems in the UK, neither prevailed.

Apologies if this came across as a rant.

Semaphor by Spideroak to Give Team Collaboration Privacy
They possibly felt that you were suggesting it was a lot of work to fix this, when in reality it would take a couple of hours to add sanitization checks to the inputs.

You're also overestimating the business impact of a security breach. This is an area where people's moral compass overrides their shrewdness. Notice that Anthem is still in business despite the worst possible breach, for example.

It's worth trying to improve security, if possible. But it takes one of two things: (a) leverage, or (b) patience. One of the main reasons that companies get a security audit is because a different company forces them to. They get an audit in order to obtain a CFD (client facing document) saying that they are secure. Without this, the other company will not do business with them, which is the sole reason why the security audit happens.

The other way -- patiently pointing out ways of improving the situation, and explaining the business merits of allocating time to this pursuit -- does not usually result in meaningful security improvements. This is an unfortunate fact of the industry, partly because security breaches do not usually put a company out of business. There are exceptions to this, but that is the common case.

To be fair to branchless... Chicago's crime rate is not all that high. It certainly would not make a list of the top 50 crime cities in the US. Or even the top 100.

(http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/t...)

So, I'm thinking, branchless' thought process probably goes something like this... "If Chicago is this bad with crime and corruption... what must the rest of the US be like???"

Having mentioned that, other people are correct as well to point out that not ALL places will have the same level of corruption. Many, many places have far more corruption and crime than Chicago. And many, many places have far less corruption and crime than Chicago. But if you are from Western Europe, the mean level of corruption here in the US may be discomfiting to you.
