One of the great benefits of Google Appengine and Google Cloud Storage is that you get this for free. Merely changing the size param at the end of the url resizes the pic. And since this all happens on the edge cache, it never touches your app, and you don't get charged for bandwidth.

Out of curiosity, why are there so many people crawling sites for prices like what you're talking about?

All of the freelance sites are... well, crawling with jobs involving web scrapers. What's the business here that I'm missing?
Actually - it seems to me that "won't do it" - when based on principle, is a much better defense.

My point is less about bribe or lobbying. It's about the mentality. For native Chinese company, the stake is so high that when facing overwhelmingly foreign opportunists they are willing to do anything to survive, faster reaction to users/customers, product adjustment to local users, more marketing spending, wage PR war with naive nationalism, you name it. Bribing and politics are really tip of the iceberg.

> You're essentially banning people from flying for possible crimes they might commit.

They will be banned from flying because they will be in jail awaiting trial for conspiracy to commit murder, or similar such charges.

If someone actually, legitimately poses a serious "danger to aviation", they should be charged, jailed, and stand trial. Do you disagree?
Teller emulates the first party mobile client. So what you need to give Teller depends on what you need to enrol your mobile device.

No, that rings hollow to me. Humans are sophisticated enough to genuinely have other needs aside from primal mating urges. Self-actualization is a huge one and more than sufficient to be the primary motivator for someone seeking to leave a family/marriage situation.

> This does mean that you need to be able to check subsets of the characters in the password, which rules out hashing the whole password in this case.

As you implicitly point out, however, it doesn't require any portion of the password ever to be visible to the call-centre employee; one can just supplement an individual hash by a collection of hashes of appropriate character subsets, and then (say) randomly pick among the available subsets.

For Chinese (and Indian) economies, the recent VC boom has been a significant conduit to siphon foreign dollars directly into consumer economies. The govt's have mostly kept a handsoff approach as long it's basically acting as a consumer economy stimulus funded by the VC. If any of these businesses become significant profit drivers, you can bet your last dime that local competition will find ways win those markets using whatever means necessary (more easily in China than India... but still).
I can't find a reference now, but apparently the first "self-service" store in Australia was the original Coles Variety Store in Smith St, Melbourne, opened in 1914.

[1] http://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/articles/1901

Today, Coles is one of the big two supermarket "duopoly" and "self-service" refers to those robotic checkouts that are actually slower and more infuriating than being assisted at the counter to ring-up your purchase. Interestingly, the structure of checkouts now suggests that less shoppers use trolleys than I seem to recall from a few decades ago.

Another piece of trivia: I don't think I've ever seen a plastic trolley in Australia.

Scrubbing corrects on disk bit flips. An in-memory bit flip (which is more rare than on disk bit flips even with non-ECC memory) can corrupt a in-memory data structure which is later written to disk to all replicas, i.e. scrub will not detect it. If this corrupted data structure is later loaded and used this may cause all kinds of problems and there is no tooling to correct it.
Thank you for all the hard work of the iterm2 team.

I've used this application for years now and without it, I would be useless.

I do 99% of my development within it, so it really is a super important tool for me and I'm very very excited to see it's continued improvement.
It may have to do with this:

An encryption bill that is being worked on by the Senate that would try and make it a crime to not help the government decrypt messages from smart phone or other device.

Suddenly these courts find they can't get evidence to convict people if their phone is encrypted and so are the messages. So they want tools to decrypt the messages to get the evidence.

My question on the Hilbert Curve: When he's talking about filling infinite space, why does the curve or repeating blocks of HC's spiral out, instead of continuing in the pattern of the original Hilbert curve? Doesn't the spiral introduce a new pattern?
They also didn't have enough planes, the ability to make significantly better ones due to the engines, and not enough pilots (they didn't change to war tempo pilot instruction until way too late). They really had no business getting into a war with a mature and robust industrial power like us, their only hope was breaking our will and that, at best, would have only happened when we started invading the home islands.

The war was all but over after the South Pacific campaign which started with our landing in Guadalcanal. Neither of us did anything particularly clever there, besides our only neutralizing vs. taking Rabaul, it was just a brutal slugfest where, for example, in one night action we lost two rear admirals (2 stars). By the end of it, IJN airpower, land and carrier based, was broken, and most of that was done by US land based aviation. For a really in depth look this book is highly recommended: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0813338697

You do have a point about our tactic of defeat in detail, when we were willing to expend enough lives and material we could and did take islands as we needed. I guess one of their big mistakes was thinking they could stop that for any particularly island with their air and naval forces in the region.
Claiming ownership of customer data would be way beyond any moral line it's kinda crazy that the company that used to say "don't be evil" needs to say it.

The policy keeps saying things like:

>"Google Apps for Education services don't collect or use student data for advertising purposes or to create ads profiles."

Just make me wonder, well if they're only promising not to use it for advertising purposes then what use are they making of it; why isn't it just "will not use student data for any purposes without express and explicit permission"?

The CDDL was crafted with GPL existing and was according to the person responsible for creating it, deliberately made incompatible with GPLv2. Of course not hard to understand given that Sun had no reason whatsoever to hand over their prized technology (ZFS, DTrace) to the competitor which was killing them in the market.

Why not ?

That would require that a Linux copyright holder would want to sue, why would they ? OpenZFS is open source, and previous suits has been about source code compliance.

A post (https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/46c2v5/90_of_my_mobi...) regarding this issue made it to the top of reddit yesterday. I figured I'd use the occasion to highlight a project I worked in a few months ago. And although the comment(https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/46c2v5/90_of_my_mobi...) was met with positive feedback from the community it was deleted by the mods without an explanation.

The article should also highlight overzealous mods that paint every outgoing link as spam.
I don't think the choice is between pure English and what we have now.

It's easy to just stick with the traditional notation(s) of every subject, but there could be some cases where an attempt to refactor some notations might be of benefit.

I usually like to criticize the combined use of i and j. Their use in pseudocode for analyzing loops also just aids confusion. I've helped some people by telling them to go through examples and change one of the variables into something more readable, and then it clicks for them.
Marooned Among the Polar Bears
I literally just made an account on here since I never normally comment just to say thank you to you for all your work on iTerm. I'm especially happy about the issue I was having with iTerm2 windows not resizing correctly but the beta seems to have changed this to work flawlessly, it used to not fit correctly to the borders of the screen height nor width, but it works great now. So thank you once again.
Yes some other attacks can be performed if the secret is appended (we don't call them "length extensions attacks"), however they do not apply in this guy's case because the attacker does not control the URI that is hashed.

But yes, when in doubt, and to future-proof your code, it is good practice to use an HMAC anyway. Or use SHA-3 which is not vulnerable to any attack when prepending/appending a secret.

It depends on the underlying algorithm. These risks are bounded, not solved.
First off, depends on how you use the word "regulate".

But the government has done a poor job of regulating money, and well, to be honest, money is really the result of our efforts / labors, and thus yeah, the government should not be regulating it, generally.
Why even comment with such a lackluster critique?
You are very welcome. I am happy to hear that it has been working well for you. :)
"In mathematics there is no unified documentation, just a collective understanding, scattered references, and spoken folk lore. You’re lucky if a textbook has a table of notation in the appendix. You are expected to derive the finer details and catch the errors yourself."

This has always bugged me. Andrew Ng's notation for machine learning sometimes uses superscripts as indices, and sometimes as exponents. In the same formula.

Years ago, when I was working on a physics engine for animation, I was struggling through a 2-volume treatise on nonlinear differential equations. One formula in Volume 2 had a symbol I didn't understand, and couldn't find in the text. I eventually found it defined in the first volume, about 500 pages back.

Steven Wolfram was annoyed by that, and he created Mathematica partly to define an unambiguous notation for much of mathematics.

This is a fixable problem. By now we should have programs which read mathematical papers and textbooks, and check that all symbols are defined and unambiguous. There would be style sheets for different branches of mathematics. When reading a paper processed through such a system, you would be able to see the expanded, unambiguous form of a formula, and the definitions of all the standard operators and symbols. This might not be possible for truly cutting-edge mathematics where the conventions haven't settled yet, but that's a small fraction of what's published.
Enki's Playground, or the Domed City of Dubai
It is frustrating for those that pioneered reddit to grow to what they are now that the site has completely changed, but looking from business perspective, early adopters are not the crowd that brings profit. They generate content, but they mostly generate content for others like them (mostly technology/programming and other geek stuff related). Those that generate profit, i.e. in reddit's case buy reddit gold AND don't use adblock, are the people that care about other things, and freedom of speech is the least of their concerns.

So from business analytic's perspective, he sees the numbers and he sees the target audience PLUS advertiser contract clauses (like no racism/sexism/certain porn things, non-liberal leaning things in general), and you get essentially private censorship. It's not a pretty sight, especially looking at deleted and locked threads daily, but it has a certain logic behind it. That logic is not in out favor, but we are not all people.

It's not against their TOS for me as a customer to reverse engineer their mobile clients (AFAIK), it is against their TOS for you as a bank customer to give Teller any authentication details. This is nothing new, the incumbent aggregator Yodlee also causes users to violate the bank TOS in this way. But aggregators solve such a pain point that users are prepared to use these services.

Every UK bank is aware of Teller, even ones I have not interacted with directly. I've been up to Edinburgh and to the RBS London offices a bunch of times, I know them well. I hope to work with the banks and not against them.
This ruling didn't make corporations people, it gave groups of people the right to exercise the free speech rights they already had, even when they choose to pool their money to buy the media on which they wish to express themselves.

I double-checked today and count not find any indication that Imgur redirects images on Reddit referrers. (Although some Reddit submissions incorrectly submit the ad-page itself which is why people get confused)

If anyone has reproducable evidence of a redirect, let me know.

> "These people are often fighting these feelings for years: weighing their natural biological impulses against higher-level rational thought. Rational thought that has been crafted from the narratives of a culture, encouraging marriage as a virtue."

Ah, but I think this concedes too much! The thrust of your argument is basically that we can boil down this very complex web of variables that make up the decision tree to seek a divorce to a cold calculation of, "Can I do better?" Were you to model this behavior in some simulation you would see people exiting and entering relationships very quickly based upon the speed of calculation.

But the actual calculation of whether to seek a divorce is not so simple. It is a complex web of interacting considerations and "rationalizations" that do battle with the impulse you would boil it all down to.

Does this impulse exist? Absolutely. Does it win out in many circumstances? Absolutely. Is every divorce ultimately a simple case of this impulse winning out over other considerations? I think that goes too far. And what about all those cases where the impulse does not win out? Would you reduce all of those to the calculation returning, "No, I don't think I could do better!?"

Regardless, the story of why people divorce is much more complicated and rich than this simple impulse to look around and see greener grass.

Money is speech when it suits them. You can yell from the rooftops that you support Daesh, but try sending them some money... suddenly money isn't speech.
> we wouldn't have industry screaming about welders (maybe it's regulation requiring industry to only hire well trained welders?).

Separate issue.

Yeah, the industry is screaming for welders, machinists, etc. Yet, the salaries aren't going up, hmmmmmmmm.

Perhaps they don't actually have a shortage of welders, but, instead, have a shortage of cheap welders.

I have yet to see any companies subsidizing the education of these folks. That's the true sign that they're really serious about it.
Corporations aren't people. They're groups of people.

> Imgur, on the other hand, is printing cash by selling ad space. But, no one is trying to move into their market.

There are a few. Slimgur is one of the most common direect competitors I can think of, but there are also the various meme maker sites that host the resulting memes for users.

Another incredibly common competitor for a small slice of the market is gifycat, which used to be the crappy newcomer that never worked and is now almost a de-facto standard on Reddit.
I don't understand what all the outrage is about. The online training keeps you logged in for a period of inactivity that COUNTS towards your 52 hours, which is perfectly legitimate. All they did was create and use a tool which extends this period of inactivity. How in the world is it that this is outragous in any way? This is a very minor fault, certainly not worthy of all the sensationalism that NY times has created, once again.

The importance of latency in health care
With regards to (1), being a file-dump place: it's worth noting that GitHub currently imposes soft (50MB) and hard (100MB) size limits per single file[1]. If you try to push a file that exceeds either of these limits from the command line, you'll receive a response from the remote server pointing you in the direction of their Large File Storage (LFS) service[2], which they charge for beyond the free 1GB storage/bandwidth per month.

Out of curiosity, I just tried uploading a file larger than 100MB to test the limits via the browser and received the following error:

Yowza, that’s a big file. Try again with a file smaller than 25MB.

For me, this significantly limits its feasibility as an alternative to Dropbox.
