UX Design: Drop-Downs in Forms

It allows you to create use cases. I wouldn't get too much into the details. It's a designer and developers job to design and develop. If they are good they will have plenty of insights on "how" to do stuff. If you give them too much detail they will just use your design. Let them use the other tools to create the design and flow for you. And let them justify why they made those decisions.

I would design the initial on boarding flow first and test if you can get users for it. don't spend a bunch of money on a project that can't get bunch of users.
I've always found that odd these days. Given that we're already not doing dumb magnetic manipulation anymore, is it not feasible to use a static magnetic field between the head and platter to the cushion the drive at all? The magnetic interaction with the platter would be presumably predictable, since it's the oscillation that's used to write the data.
Plus, how else are you going to pay Delicious' AWS bill if you actually succeed in buying it?
I don't know. If you look at the income/growth graphs that growth from web services has continued quarterly for two years, and this is the second quarter of profit. I doubt they could have had an "oops" moment regarding almost a billion dollars over two quarters (6 months). It looks like a major change. Unless, like the article suggests, they are taking profits now to prepare for a larger capital investment in the near future.
I would like to add that while this advice would generally work, there are some really shady characters that one has to deal with sometimes. In that case, the other person might just keep taking advantage of your kindness. So, there does have to be a give and take: do a little bit, and hope that they do a little bit as well.

I was IP banned from that site around 2011 because I left a comment saying that if you did what the site was preaching in the previous two years (2009-2011), meaning shorting the market because the second collapse is just around the corner, you would have lost a ton of money.

They claim their ramp is faster than pumped storage, ramp is an ancillary service here. Also being smaller than pumped storage means they can be optimized to respond to smaller ancillary service requirements.

In general there is no silver bullet for the electricity system, rather, a better metaphor is a stack. This tech might fit one space in the stack.

Come on guys. Ruby can't do everything.

Edit: Also, they are claiming 93% mechanical and electrical efficiency. I'm not sure if that is each or total, but either way it sounds impressive for storage and retrieval in a wide demand range.

Edit2: Is this company publicly traded? Or is it owned by a publicly traded parent company?

Edit3: It is a startup (and they are looking for funding).
I like this concept. I would think its all going to be about efficiency of the return power. Not a hydro engineer, but I would think that a turbine is not as efficient as a wheel tied to an electric motor. X Amount of wheel turns to store and the same X amount to restore the power. It all comes down to the efficiency of the motor vs efficiency of the generator side.

Presumably they mean that porting your js examples to C++ isn't likely to be as easy as just flipping a switch.

Still orders of magnitude less difficult than rewriting the whole thing in another language, and given that a big target is games, abstracting over the platform semantics would be too costly IMO.
I've seen this happen way too often at various organizations. My take away is security is a function of the product, not some external process you bolt on top of it.

Organizations typically fail at security because they try to manage it as far away from the product as possible. That leads security and dev/ops teams to manage their goals in isolations: one cares about preventing incident, the other cares about shipping products.

If Agile & DevOps have taught us anything, it's that everyone in the organization should be focused on serving the customer, be it through features, reliable operations, or data security. The only good way to do infosec is to embed security with devs and ops and make everyone shares the goal of making the product better.

You make incredibly fair points and I don't have the data to answer what you've raised. This could be lack of research or the fact that CF hasn't released it. I expect a 20/80 non-researched/non-available mix.

My understanding is that the WAF detects trivial stuff like SQL injection and XSS, and the video also mentions it detected ShellShock and so forth (yeah, this was a while ago).

"Thousands of regular expressions" is mentioned verbally in the video around ~11:25. That's where I got that from.

There are some bits mentioned about the hardware around 19:30:

- E5-2630v3 (16 cores, 32 w/ HT which is turned off), 128GB RAM, 10Gbps

- Custom built by Quanta: 4 nodes per 2U (each node is like half-width and 1U high), redundant 2xPSU in the middle

- 40 machines run Kafka storing 400TB of log data (ingest @ 15Gbps), 50TB disk per node

- 5 machines run CitusDB (sharded PostgreSQL) to power realtime graph generation, 12TB SSD per node

- 100+ machines for realtime analytics running Go (and presumably LuaJIT) - LuaJIT seems to be the realtime "hmm, interesting" flagging system, while Go is used for in-depth intelligent analysis that's (I assume) slightly behind realtime.

Also, the video is actually over here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA-gNoxSLCE

I'm curious to understand what tail latency is, and very interested to learn more about language latency and performance in general. What subjects would you recommend I learn about / read? (I would describe myself as interested from a hobbyist-intermediate standpont, but from a non-academic POV; I unfortunately get dismally lost with formulaic presentations, math is not a strong subject for me.)
sin(8 degrees) = 8/100 ? More like 8/50. But nonetheless, that is a horrible mix of units. And who even knows how many feet in a mile?
They post things like this all the time. I would take it not as them editorially advocating the position, but rather getting information otherwise censored by other media out there. Sometimes the information is not reported for good reason, such as this. You need a very good BS and relevancy filter to find the few nuggets of gold that are put out maybe a few times a year by ZH.

Hear hear.

This site has long been a bewildering mishmash of doomsaying and cassandra-like apocalyptic predictions - but the other shoe has simply never dropped. During the days when the financial crisis was hot and fresh this brand of naysaying seemed really insightful and prescient - but, in retrospect, it was just something of a firehose of "short the system."

That a lot of analysts read it doesn't make it credible. A lot of politicos read infowars too - it doesn't mean it isn't mostly hyped up garbage.

Far too many of their headlines are too sensationalist and make too many testable claims and predictions - they are chicken little, and the sky simply hasn't fallen.
But they say in that same sentence that it'll be two locomotives and four cars, weighing that in total... but then again perhaps if you don't have to deal with any curves, you can have reaaaaaaaaaallly long cars.

My first thought on reading the headline is: Everyone use full-disk encryption so they need to order the user to unlock it.

Ok, if we take this wide view then yes. But "market rate" is not always a very descriptive when discussing pricing in general because there are often time corner cases where the phenomenon that's actually important is not captured by it. I.e. in market situations where the price can be effectively agreed in an oligopoly then the discussion about oligopolists' pricing has a social context as well, and things like "political leverage" are far more important in studying the phenomenon in larger context than just observing the preset "market rate".
I'm not an economist, but governments usually have what is called "monopoly on the physical means of coercion", there's geographic limits on human movement that are much reduced for capital, and governments are more likely than not "too big to fail", a status only few corporations achieve.

My point is not to advocate central planning, I'm a big fan of markets. I just think some defenses of them are very disingenuous and poorly thought-out.
Exactly. Many people wouldn't react so negatively to "yet another request from security" if they hadn't experienced a prior river of BS over-escalated requests from security, or a string of purchased and then never-used security "solutions" that were bought at high-cost, installed at high-effort, and then never again looked at.

There are no doubt a lot of smart security people with great judgment in the industry. Unfortunately, my experience is that such people are FAR from the majority. (This is true for other non-security segments as well, of course.)
So 200m long cars, given that there are four in a train of that mass from TFA? I suppose it's not inconceivable, but it seems weird to be re-inventing the railway carriage format.

Also, having a long train is surely undesirable for this application, unless you have a plateau at the top and bottom at least as long as the train.

Would it do what you are saying or would it hinder growth? I mean would a company say well we don't want to ship source code with it so let's choose another language that doesn't force us to do that. I am not saying either way is correct, but I can see a company that was thinking about going with Go use another language because they have to ship source with their binary in Go. Which would actually hinder the growth of the language.
It's a loose assumption based on a chain of unlikely events, not a distinct outcome like the title suggests.

It's a ubuntu based subsystem. Apt-get probably uses their official repo and you would have to get your malware into that first and then make some windows beta-user install your new and unknown package.
It's also been available under Apache 2.0 this whole time, which means you get a patent grant that's less problematic than the one Microsoft is using for .NET Core. So anyone looking to work on a .NET-ish runtime can do so without fear of litigation by starting with the Micro Framework sources. The caveat is that the license only applies to the things that are already in NETMF. The moment you try to start adding things (e.g., by ganking sources from CoreCLR), you're back in the murky territory of coming up with an answer to the question of whether or not the MIT License is enough to keep you from being on the receiving end of patent litigation.

The irony is that fragmentation is exactly what Microsoft is trying to stave off, but the policy they've chosen with their patent promise does its part to sort of force the hand of interested parties in that direction.
Yeah, I hate that too.

The usual coverage of HFT on ZH is like this:

Gold price spikes down, it's the HFT slamming it because they work for the Central Banks. Gold price spikes up, it's because investors are concerned about the market.

Stocks spike up, it's the HFT again. Stocks spike down - investors start seeing that the whole market is a scam.

So the HFT trade only in the "wrong" direction according to ZH. They sell gold and buy stocks. Never the other way around. I'm exaggerating, but only a bit, there were a few articles which blamed HFT for "right" moves (gold up, stocks down).

Example of focusing on facts:

1. The government releases a report with an important indicator looking good

2. Mainstream Media cheers, telling us how good we have it

3. ZH looks at the report and notices that:

- the number was "seasonally adjusted" once, then again

- the number will be revised down, a month later usually on a late Friday at happy hour

- pesky details: employment growth is in part-time, minimum-wage jobs

ZH often reports facts from official government reports/documents - they are typically buried on page 99 out of 100 (for a reason).

Some people may choose to call the above rumors or "sensationalism" - feel free to ignore ZH, it is a free country.

Some might correspond to local file systems, some to remote file systems accessed over a network, some to instances of system servers running in user space (like the window system or an alternate network stack), and some to kernel interfaces. To users and client programs, all these cases look alike.

And Rob Pike once said[2]:

No, it's not firing. Firing would be telling that employee their attitude and/or output made them a bad fit and it was time to go.

This is the manager explaining that unless that changes, it will be time to go, and giving the employee the choice between changing it, or a gradual way to leave that benefits both parties.
