You should check out StealJS which is a fork of JSPM[1]. The biggest difference between StealJS is that it uses NPM so you don't need a separate package manager tool. Aside from that, we have built in hot module swapping so dev can be really fast (less than 200ms per change usually). Also on the roadmap is caching using Service Workers.

Ask HN: How do you build a 'firewall'?
I'm curious to know how you would build your own firewall that

1) is easily integrated by the end user. Just copy paste inside your domain registrar's DNS records

2) is responsive, and does not compromise end user's website traffic. Should be able to handle millions of traffic per hour.

Can anyone shed some light on how you would go about building your own 'firewall' that is able to intercept all http requests?

I want to then look at a time series analysis of the log and determine if a given IP address is malicious traffic or not. What sort of machine learning here is useful?
I'm not sure if you're trolling me, but looking through your other comments seems like you are a serious commenter :), so I'll treat your query as bona fide.

The main problems are:
* transmission of data in a reliable fashion (both from the phone and the module which plugs into your car) to the decision system
* making decisions quickly and accurately based on incomplete data (due to dead zones, time shifts, etc)
* displaying decisions (building a UI both for the end user and for administration)
* integrating with telcos (since it is a carrier level solution)

Now, this problem isn't the same level of difficulty as say, "scaling AWS" or "inventing Google Maps", but I've found it to be an interesting problem. It certainly is more than a phone only solution, which you imply.

That said, maybe I'm missing something obvious that would make the solution simple--I'd be happy talk to the hiring manager about paying you for an hour of your time to chat about your proposed solution if you'd be interested. My contact info is in my profile, so feel free to ping me with your rate and availability.

Finally, more on the solution being built here: http://katasi.com/distracted-driving-solution-products/

That's not impossible at this point: humans don't fare that well on completely raw diet with studies of raw vegan diets show increases in amenorrhoea, underweightness, dental erosion and lower bone densities (raw non-vegan diet being possibly even riskier due to high concerns of food poisoning and food-borne diseases). Richard Wrangham has argued that modern humans are in fact obligate cooks (though he's also argued that modern human evolution was triggered by cooking, I know most anthropologists disagree with the latter, not sure about the former, could be an interesting question to ask in /r/askscience)

That said, most of the startup oriented stuff in Ubud seems to peg its prices to the Western world rather than local norms: there's coworking space in the City of London that costs about the same as Hubud, for example.

Which shows you how much the market knows. Apple's PE ratio was 11 back in 2009.

In fact the first years of the iPhone corresponded with a precipitous plunge in their PE ratio as their revenues rose rapidly, but their share price was dragged kicking and screaming along behind them.

Negative yields have been very common in the last 2-3 years, perhaps not when the bond is initially sold, but certainly after the bond starts trading - when the negative yield also takes into accounts expectations around currency risk. A currency that is expected to hold it's value (like the US Dollar) - is a very desirable place to park your money if you believe other currencies will drop. And, as you purchase those bonds, and drive up the price, you drive down the yield.

So, while negative yields on savings accounts are pretty new and strange thing, negative yields on bonds aren't entirely unexpected.

It can be said the main reason oil is cheap is for political reasons.

Saudi Arabia has saved up a large stash over the past few decades & it would not like its regional power states to be taken away in wake of the removal of Iranian sanctions. At least not for a while.

The Saudi oil ministry intentionally lobbied for increased production as soon as they became aware Iranian oil sanctions could be removed.

If game theory is used to analyse the situation, it serves them best to encourage the oil price to stay low & everyone else is incentivised not to cut production either.

Diplomacy is the only game where I've deliberately toyed with an opponents mental state in order to win.

Diplomacy is the most absolutely fascinating game, but I have mellowed out some and stopped playing - some newer games also have great strategy without the time commitment and mentally/emotionally taxing gameplay.

Indeed. Apple has been ramping up R&D spending by about 40% per year for many years, which is a phenomenal ramp up, it's just that its revenues have grown even more dramatically.
The irony of this approach is that the lower interest rates are, the more people need to save to reach their retirement goals. If this effect is stronger than the incentive to borrow and invest, low interest rates might actually curb consumption.

Ok, I completely misunderstood you. I was thinking about inverting things like "well, if I can't solve this problem, let me look for a better problem to solve", that's pervasive in tech.

I do agree that your concept is rare on practical fields.

Theoreticians have a good time searching for dualism (in physics, you'll find it named as symmetry - a slightly more general concept), and with good results. But practitioners don't have much freedom on this front. There are some dual implementations around, mostly for noise cancellation, but there's little more.

Anyway, I don't in think the specific example of dazzle camouflage there was any dualism thinking.
Cheap oil is taken as a signal of deflation, and deflation is very bad because it happens when the economy is too broken to make investing worthwhile.
Of course it does, but the effect is not linear and its mostly correlation caused by underlying mechanisms.

Too much inflation is usually sign of problems in the economy. Too low inflation is also sign of problems. The optimum rate of inflation is usually somewhere 1-4%.

Strong currency is not good thing in itself. It hurts exports and makes foreign goods cheaper.
> The actual reason is that there is a whole cottage industry based on trading access to data for paper co-authorship.

Is that a problem? That's the way it should be. Requiring that the data be shared does not rule out a requirement that the person that creates the dataset is automatically a coauthor.
So those rescue workers need to have network connection to find the address?

My understanding is you have to download the app, then request a code based on your location, e.g. ABC 56F, and it gets added to their database. To find the location for a code you again need the app and online access.

Well, they probably need network connection for routing and maps though with various OpenStreetMap-based apps you can pre-download offline map data.

In that regard http://what3words.com/ works better. Their codes are pre-generated, the database is a static 20MB (afaik, they keep adding languages) and the apps thus can convert the whole world offline.

Neat stuff. Be aware though that by doing this you expose yourself to revealing valid credentials.

Let's say that you have a user "bob". bob has the password "iamyouruncle". One day bob makes a typo in his password, spelling it as "iamyouurncle". Username and mistyped password is shown on this web page and visitors could be able to deduce the correct password.

Now you may say "oh but this is actually not the real sshd used by users, the real one is running on port 2022 instead of on port 22". Not much better. bob could be on a host where he doesn't have his regular .ssh/config which specifies to use port 2022 so now when he does ssh, he hits port 22 and gives up his real credentials to it.

You may then say, "no matter, everybody is actually using pubkeys, not passwords" but to that I say that still, sometimes people might give their password, either because they've lost their keypair and are trying to get in or because they do so without thinking.

These are my thoughts on the matter. As I said, though, I think what you've made is neat, I just want people to think about the potential consequences before they go ahead and set up something similar.

I was reading the Wall Street Journal analysis recently, which agrees this won't help much, nothing that while it's designed to provoke investment "the gap between corporate cash flow and investment stands at a record 6% of GDP. If firms wanted to invest, they could go to their own vaults."

They recommend this measure only if combined with structural reform (especially labor reform), observing "Japan’s rigid labor system has led firms to refuse to hire more “regular” workers, whom they cannot lay off during slack times. Instead they hire “nonregulars”" and do not invest in training and human capital and doing little for these workers' futures. After that they suggest fiscal stimulus, but observing that past "fiscal stimulus" has been mostly handouts to inefficient farms in rural districts to buy votes they instead recommend measures like making public high schools free (!!) and getting sewage systems to the 40% of the population that doesn't have them (!!!).
