Right, but it should be possible to brick hardware through firmware updates.

(Biased Quill author here)

Most modern rich text editors have or are moving towards having a document model that maps to the DOM, ideally also producing compact and canonical output. Quill's new document model Parchment takes this approach as well though I admit I borrowed the idea from the Etherpad guys, and some design ideas from React as well [1]. I have not had the time to dig into Draft.js in depth but Facebook has made many high quality contributions to open source and looking forward to borrowing more ideas.

Using the "nothing to hide" fallacy is bad enough (general warrants are still unconstitutional), but if you think the intelligence agencies only investigate "a large scale serious crime operation" then you should really do more research on what those agencies have been doing over the last decade.
For those of you looking for a rich text editor like this that is lighterweight and doesn't come with a heavy React dependency, I can highly recommend Mobiledoc[1]. I've been using it in several production sites and it has performed like a champ.

The best part of Mobiledoc is its portability; I've seen it used in both Ember.js and Riot.js, two libraries on opposite ends of the spectrum.

It's also been designed for rich, interactive content in addition to rich text. You can add interactive cards (think slideshows, before/after image sliders, etc.) and easily provide a different implementation on each platform. This lets your content authors write once and have a great experience on both native and web, and adding a new card is super easy.

There are two kinds of DevOps.

You have DEVops... think of a web developer who also knows linux.

Then you have devOPS... think of a sysadmin who knows bash and python.

The former is where I think the value comes.. they find ways to automate your infrastructure and do lots of cool things. The later tend to make webs of bash scripts that you have to delete when they quit because no one understands them.
Um, I already did: Bernie's the only candidate really against spying, and it's mainly young liberal people who like him. Everyone else, plus conservatives, loves all the other candidates, who are all in favor of spying. Hence, the people want to be spied on. If they didn't, they wouldn't be fans of these candidates.
I agree we can do a lot better in project discovery on GitLab.com. I do want to mention that https://gitlab.com/explore?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter_projects=gi... gives results in a few seconds and GitLab itself is the first hit.
ESP Lisp: run lisp on ESP8266 chip
That doesn't mean that the reasoning in a human brain is equally difficult, or equally error-prone. If nothing else, doing the transformations (and back) adds to the cognitive burden.
I hope he tries his hand at building an AM analogue synth.
Esp8266 also runs Lua, which provides first-class co-operative co-routines and is a really nice way to do cooperative multi-tasking.

I've been playing with a Esp8266 NodeMCU configuration where one co-rountine monitors and maintains the wired-access connection, another CR blinks the activity led on a timer, and another presents a telnet-like command interface listening on a tcp/ip socket.

The entire OS layer has been avoided, yet there is almost no loss of functionality.
More likely, they owe their rise to lack of an account creation process (no username and password).
To be clear, the problem described in the video is not something that can happen. "rm -rf $1/$2" where $1 and $2 aren't defined (therefore making it "rm -rf /") will not run. If you really want to destroy your root directory you have to specify the --no-preserve-root flag. No more accidents from scripts that assume things poorly, but it will still do exactly what the user asks.

Yeah, I usually add the rest as well, for stability. I don't really use the FTDI programmer as programming it over the air is faster and more convenient.

I talked to a (very) senior scientist at the World Meteorological Organization not too long ago. He was of the opinion that the U.S. weather models were about 5 to 10 years behind on the European models, and that this was caused by structural underfunding over longer periods of time (i.e. past decades). As I understood it these weather models are basically humongous software programs that are developed in house, but based on publicly available science and fed by data from weather stations.

Does your software become better if you run it on a faster computer? It will certainly help, but he instilled on me the impression that the US had a bit more catching up to do than just buying a new supercomputer.
I checked out D2D. Although an awesome idea on the surface, I'm a bit suspect of their pricing model. 10% of all sales? The problem with that is if you have a bestseller that sells a million copies you're basically subsidizing other books with languishing sales.

I'm not sure if you're affiliated with them or not, but a better model would be to charge 10% up to the cost of proofread and copyedit + a profit. Let's say these services typically cost $3,000 (like on CreateSpace). D2D could charge 10% of sales up to say $5,000 ($2k profit). If you're book doesn't hit its targets the author would still owe a remaining balance up to $3,000.

Facebook has no tech support phone number. So you can't call them and ask.

I have a real name that is shared with 300+ men in the USA. Have firstnamelastname at gmail.com and they give that address to people who write me instead. They forget the letters and numbers. They even try to reset my password and sign me up to different services. I use a different email for Facebook. If you have an email like that, possibly one of them claimed it was their email and Facebook account and tried a password reset and then filed a claim the account was hacked.

I work for the company that provided the storage for this. Our product is not a collection of commodity components but instead something very much more like an "appliance" that provides the performance at scale that NOAA needs. In general, one of the trends we see/fight is the "Hey, we can get components ourselves and use Lustre to build what we need" And.... they are spot on right. What you need to consider doing this is the amount of maintaining and administering that comes with this solution. The trade-off we see is that some groups, "Academia" for example, will prefer the cheaper solution because they have Grad Students, Post Docs and Undergrad research folks to help make the people cost free. Others, who just want to buy something that works in their infrastructure without adding the people costs would prefer to buy something ready made that "just works"

Bottom line: If you are using your system to get work done, the trend is to spend the money for reliability and availability. If you want to save money, it comes at a price (but is certainly do-able)

Related: Look at Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft... they are large enough to build their custom systems themselves. Not everyone operates at this scale. Individuals can buy a cheap PC and build a NAS... or they can buy one from Netgear, Buffalo, QNAP that "jsut works" at a price premium.
I've never actually seen or had the courage to attempt "rm -rf /". Does anyone know what would happen if it were run?

I would really love to answer any questions regarding Luna, so feel free to ask them as many as you need!

c) Yes, Luna supports immutable data structures in the form of composable algebraic data types. Composability means in this context that you can compose the sum and product types directly using Luna's built-in combinators, so you can for example build data types that share some constructor definitions (this is just a generalization of algebraic data types in general. As a side note, the first Luna release lacks some mechanisms to fully handle this abstraction, but this is understandable as this is an alpha release). Luna data types allow for efficient binary serialization, if you mean it by asking about "own partitions for the distribution". The Category Oriented Programming paradigm, on the other hand, is developed by us. It is widely described in the Luna user manual, that for now will be available for alpha testers only, but we will work towards releasing it to the public as fast as possible.

Did I answer your questions?
"Open Data" is only as good as the quality and truthfulness of the data. I suppose the most likely outcome is that these politicians will get more sophisticated about data... so that they can fake it reliably.
Isn't it more like every day?
So your answer is to require pulling in an entire view library just to make a simple rich text editor work?

Also, I'm disheartened by the simple, anonymous down votes my comments are receiving rather than actual rebuttals. At least you had the decency to respond.

While this is surely a warranted and useful document in its own right, I can't help but tell my own story of "Frivolous IRS Wastefulness" as a counter-balance.

Some in the US might remember a year when the 'Estate Tax' was suspended - that is, if a relative died and passed along an inheritance amount, it wasn't taxable like in years prior or once the suspension expired after 2010.

As a recipient of some funds - a mid single digit thousand figure - from my maternal relative passing, I paid off my credit card and - this was my mistake - included the amount received in some kind of 'income' field. This set into motion one of the most ridiculous, patience-testing exchanges in my adult life. In mid-2011, they sent me a letter wanting a check for $X,XXX.

I wrote back a clear explanation of the error in question - that the funds were an inheritance and not subject to the taxes being claimed. I sent it via FedEx, and eventually got a response. They still wanted the entire $X,XXX!

This back and forth - me being as polite and stubborn as possible in writing - and the IRS kept wanting money, offering no proof why the amount they claimed owed was actually owed (I asked repeatedly for citations). This went on for a FULL YEAR. In the second to last correspondence, I had pages and pages of the 2010 tax code included, with relevant highlights, obscure forms...yet still felt taking a polite (if a bit dense) tone would be better than getting angry, you know, poking a gorilla with a stick kind of thing.

In the end, I sucked it up and sent them about $150, what they eventually came down to after all this time, just to get them to shut up. The IRS, without question, wasted time, resources, and money stubbornly pursuing money that they weren't entitled to at all.

So, while I respect their power and genuinely believe in their mission to acquire funds to keep the government working in its basic fashion, I have absolutely no pity for staff members who have to read through line after line of bullshit excuses, because they do it too.
The government absolutely should not be trusted. That's why Apple shouldn't give them a skeleton key to get into any phone, just the legally compelled access for this specific phone. Apple can make that happen trivially. If the government was telling Apple to make an actual backdoor for any phone, this would be different.

Nobody (except the most unreasonable) has any problem with the FBI searching property when they have a legal warrant. That's what is happening here. It's the equivalent of asking a manager to open a storage unit. This specific case is not anything like any of the examples you gave.

The Tea Party's "political beliefs" literally include "not paying taxes".

[citation needed]

The TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already(backronym). They're not opposed to paying any taxes, they're opposed to paying more.

More than this, the IRS has been used as a weapon for much longer. Under the Clinton Administration, the IRS was used to harass WND and Joseph Farah.
I [among, apparently others based on that thread] asked for that years ago and you did nothing until you were publicly called on it.

That is precisely the problem I'm talking about.

Your interests aren't aligned with mine and the amount of whining required is too high for my taste, so I'm not a customer.
I see. Many of the countries you listed are actually 'workfare' systems, as this article proposes, and not true 'welfare' systems.

Canada - much of the 'welfare' is paid by the province, not the federal government. The social assistance program is aimed at temporary financial need, and requires people to seek employment:

Japan - Japanese society actually attempts to shame people into going back into the workforce: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2011/09/25/national/media-n...

I don't have time to go down the rest of the list, but my point is that there are few, if any places where somebody can get a 'free ride' while doing little/no work, and certainly no place that's nice to live in (I'm assuming that since you think workfare is a bad idea, you consider 'good' to be the absence of a work requirement).
Here's more Mother Jones reporting: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/irs-tea-party-ta...

I can provide a little context here. When I was in college I was a conservative Republican. Some right-wing groups in Washington deliberately and consciously helped me and many other students set up tax-exempt organizations. Everything was technically OK.

But in retrospect? It's pretty clear their strategy was to create a bunch of exempt organizations through which to funnel money for political purposes. The big loophole at that time was that you could be a 501c3 and provide "education" and remain exempt. Now if ALL of that education just happened to benefit the right-wing of the GOP, well I guess that's just a coincidence.

Frankly, the IRS was totally right in going after these groups. The problem is they overreached in some cases. Many of the groups are not following the spirit of the law and I would wager that many of them are not even following the letter of the law.

For example, you're not supposed to coordinate with election campaigns if you're a 501c3, but what if everyone on your board is actively involved in local Republican politics? Even if your board meeting is technically non-partisan, when everyone goes out for drinks afterwards (on the non-profit's tab) you can be sure that election strategy is going to be a topic of conversation.

For the record, I do not see liberal groups flagrantly disregarding the law in such a manner, which makes sense because they're ideologically less committed to dodging taxes.

TLDR: If a bunch of people are organizing around the concept "taxes suck, let's not pay them!" it's a pretty safe bet that many of them are actually breaking the law.
While that's true, it is often confused with the (wrong) assumption that: "don't try to do things efficiently; just measure later and redo the slow parts".

More often than not, if you don't think about performance characteristics beforehand, then -- after taking care of the low hanging fruit -- you find out that time is wasted all over, and there's no specific culprit that's making things so slow; at which point, you need to rewrite the whole thing.

Efficiency should be considered from the beginning in most projects, or later optimizations will be on the scale of "massive undertaking" to "complete rewrite".
Nice prototyping board! We've been working on a similar concept at ESProto - http://www.esproto.com/ - and have taken a few steps beyond your board. We've created the ESProto 1, and now the ESProto IoT. Both are being released as open source, and also sold as kits.

The ESProto 1 is designed to support the AI Thinker ESP-12F (FCC Certified) module, and give you space for an optional regulator, and prototyping space on board. We include jumpers and a push button for easily entering programming mode.

The ESProto IoT is our newest prototyping board, and couples the ESP-12F with a 5v Arduino Pro Mini to provide enhanced connectivity for sensors and peripherals, all in the form factor of the Arduino Uno.

Both boards use external USB for programming.

These things are too cool, and too much fun!
Yep, exactly. If they did that, and the government was trying to somehow make that illegal, or demand a real backdoor, then it would be time to get up in arms. But that time is not yet.
