In addition to the left-right spectrum, there's also an authoritarianism scale. The one dimensional left-right spectrum seems to be bent into a horseshoe, with the open end facing up. The up-down axis measures authoritarianism. So the further towards the ends of the spectrum you are, the more authoritarian your stance is.

Others map this on 2-axes, like the D&D alignment diagram.
There has been an option since 2003 for iTunes not to copy songs into its own hierarchy and just leave files where they are.
As a Muslim, I've noticed the same when it comes to the Quran. People think that they've read the Quran when in fact a large of its beauty is in the structure of the Arabic text.
A good trick I found was to have a file with your values assigned as vault_something and then in the clear version have the variable assigned as:
something: "{{ vault_something }}"

But yeah, the "only one password" is the biggest pain for me...

Religious thinking may be compatible with science to the extent that religion is only used as some kind of motivating factor and doesn't affect the outcome or logic of the resulting science. However religion used instead to push an agenda, influencing the outcome of research, would seem counter-productive, and I can understand the wariness of social social scientists towards those with rigid beliefs.

Hi @SomewhatLikely. I have fixed it at both the place. Apologies for the confusion.
We're a hardware and firmware shop. Our work equipment is a physical piece of silicon on my desk.

Yes, we could switch to a remote-work model, but that would make logistics significantly harder (some of the stuff we work with is proprietary and confidential) and destroy our terrific team spirit.
We agree that if you store secrets in a repo, any time you change the encryption key, you have to go and purge the underlying secrets. We disagree that this is intuitive or that shops do this reliably.

We should be able to agree that not storing secrets in your repo dodges all these problems nicely.
There's a lot of options and implementations.
For cloud services there are foscam cloud, camcloud etc. They require you to open a port on your router ( kind of defeats the ease and security of dropcam type service.)
For a home server there are a bunch of options. Blue iris I think is a big one and there is sighthound.com
Good luck

> Any time you sit down at a keyboard and have to mentally remap ("copy works differently here", "shortcuts are different here", "that thing you do all the time must be done in a very different way here"), it's mental capacity out the window.

That's true, which is why I use only Linux, only StumpWM, only emacs. Using anything else slows me down and gets in my way.

> The common user access standards that you're used to in VS, Eclipse and IDEA did. Spend your time mastering those instead, it will give far more transferable and valuable skills.

There's nothing to master, because the languages those tools offer aren't expressive enough to require any mastering. They're two steps above pointing and grunting, while emacs is poetry.
I think the fear is that they'll drive the speed limit on the freeway, even when no one else is.
It looks like the Apache POI library gets the data out of the formats. The tool itself seems to compare the data cell-wise (i.e. A1 against A1 - no alignment seems to be attempted) and there doesn't seem to be any handling for merged cells, charts, pivot tables, filters, data validation, etc.
> It will never change unless the Constitution changes.

Not necessarily, there's still quite a lot of wiggle-room: Except for some narrow areas (Electoral College, impeachment, vacancies, etc.) the Constitution doesn't narrowly define votes as single data-points.

If nothing else, individual states can use "better than plurality" systems to determine their picks for State and Federal legislature.
Nah, they are probably salty folk like yourself that got a chuckle from your open mic night tattoo joke because you typed what they were thinking but chose not to comment because it little to do with the actual article or because your complaint was a complete work and they felt they could add nothing and echoing the sentiment would be ironic in this context. With that said, you articulated one of the most clichéd reactions to fad tattoo designs.

That's my handle for a reason having nothing to do with the philosophical concept, actually. Each person has his or her own reason for picking a handle, often publicly unknown and personal -- this is one of the cool things about handles.

If handles looked like this though: solipsism1, solipsism34, solipsism85, solipsism87, solipsism21, solipsism3485, solipsism_is_cool, solipsism_4thewin, solipsism111.... well, I can see being annoyed at seeing the same thing over and over again. It wouldn't bother you I guess. That's cool, there's no accounting for taste.

That's completely backwards. If you want control over your music library you would keep both of those options disabled.

Apple has been selling standard AAC non DRMd music since 2007. No AAC is not a proprietary Apple format. It is supported by everything under the sun and is licensed just like the MP3 format. Apple has nothing to do with the licensing.
Postgres has been my DB of choice for nearly a decade. The
only times I wind up working with another db are because:

(1 it is a better technical fit for a very specific problem

(2 there is already a legacy db in place

I have been voted down at a couple of startups that wanted to run a "MEAN" stack, invariably all of those startups moved from MongoDB or shutdown.

The only time I will advocate for anything other than Postgres is when Wordpress is involved. If the data model is simple enough then MySQL is more than up for the task, and it avoids an additional database dependency.

Thankfully all the ORM's that are worth using support MySQL and Postgres, so using both is very doable.

So what happens as it spreads then? The dollar continues to tumble but asset prices still keep going up?
Huh, I just now used this in a project of mine. It's pretty cool, and easy to use. I need to be able to do client-side compression on images (users are uploading avatars and small pictures for in-thread sharing, which don't need to be 3000px wide).

It was really easy to incorporate pica in my project. Kudos!
That's a difficult thing to answer. However the more important problem is loss of data whenever your DB isn't available due to downtime, upgrade etc. It depends how important data loss is for your user case. I'm a data completist but I'm in therapy for it ;)

It's definitely worth playing with, and trivially easy to spin up. Other self-hosted options aren't anything like as simple to get up and running.
I guess the market is there but I bet there are better applications than tattooing. Disappearing ink probably isn't worth the discomfort for many tattoos. But hey, tattoo ink isn't exactly the most innovative space so it's cool to see a fresh idea
1. That is just convention, services are free to filter on features that are present on a small subset of the data.

2. I don't know how Kayak specifically works, they're just a general example of a customer-facing website that also vends an API that could be integrated with Voice UX.

3 / 4. Everyone has a different approach here and I'm not sure how Viv's would work... but Alexa's ownership model is app-based. 3rd parties build services that process the user's command however they want. They build the backend service, the Alexa voice integration endpoint, and (optionally) a companion website. Amazon owns the marketplace and physical interface. In this model, Uber owns the Uber integration, Lyft owns the Lyft integration, and whoever manages to search both Uber and Lyft would own that meta-service integration.
Even forgetting if the services are superior or whatever, is it all that crazy to be able to let people spend the night in your house or drive someone around for money?

At the upper end you see a lot more real estate purchases for investment purposes. At the lower end you see people wanting to buy their first home. That lower end demand is not going to disappear--do you have any data to suggest that this will in fact work its way all the way down to that lower end for people who are not "investing" in housing but instead buying a place to live?
I don't disagree with you, but that's not what people usually mean when they say "supernatural" and this is what I was pointing out. Usually, it's taken to mean a bit of literally impossible nonsense that happens anyway.

You're right - once something actually happens it falls under the domain of science. Most people don't realize that, or they don't accept it.
An offshore location sets up it's laws to simplify the taxation and legal issues, like a nice API joining complex systems.

Funds are set up in offshore locations to cut the "gordian knots" of tax and securities laws, within a stable country that has skilled legal and administrative infrastructure.

Taxation and securities laws for direct investment between different countries/states are complex, often unfair, and can change unpredictably.

The fund also needs to avoid getting taxed unfairly and other liabilities. For example countries have laws that would tax the whole fund if one citizen is a minor investor (which is why a fund in say Delaware might only accept foreign investors). Dual citizenship is another hideous complexity.

Some locations or funds allow countries to "look into" investments by their citizens and corporates, so are not necessarily secret at the government level.

I think it's mainly exploiting that the laws are kinda dumb and only perhaps made sense in an earlier age.
If you want to die to assist the population-control efforts, be my guest. : )

More seriously, what would happen if the average number of children per family was 3.5, rather than 2.5 [1]? Probably nothing absolutely catastrophic, and that's roughly what would happen in a pessimistic scenario of an ageless society- instead of simply generating a batch of new people that will later reproduce, there's a batch of new people and the original parent. Maybe some outliers will just keep having children constantly (until they just physically give out- that would be an extreme strain), but I'd think most people would allow a decade or two between families.

More more seriously, birth rates are declining drastically in highly developed countries, to the point that many places are worried about population decline. Overpopulation is a problem in developing nations, but realistically, anti-aging won't make a big difference there- they're already typically dying of more preventable things than old age.

Storing secrets in a repository is not bad.

Storing secrets in a repository with non-secrets is bad, because access is pre-repo, and it would hurt your ability to limit secret access to the smallest possible audience.
Data ownership in GA is a "gray area" that becomes less gray if you pay $150K/yr for "GA Premium".

Google has mixed incentives in running its free analytics service. It gets web-wide analytics data, it uses data to help it sell more AdWords to customers, and it integrates GA with other services, like their display advertising products (DFP, etc.)

From a practical standpoint, you don't "own" analytics data when a) you can't easily access it in raw form and b) the SaaS provider "leaks" your data to dilute its value to you. We address (a) and (b) directly through our products and public data privacy stance. See this blog post for our public view on analytics data privacy:

And why wouldn't this happen again?

All the people and corporations whom profited dearly from the 2007 scam got off completely scot-free and were made then whole on the backs of the US taxpayers (actually, their grand or great-grandkids, because the money used to pay the bills was borrowed and added to the $20tril debt)

They fully expect to be bailed out again, so again I ask...with big money to be had and almost zero risk to the players, why would anyone think its not happening again?

I'm very excited to have stumbled on this article on HN, as I am presently working on a project in this space; focusing on better ways to specify lighting needs and discuss light pollution's impact on terrestrial telescopes and astronomy.

Its neat to see that understanding consequences of artificial lighting, especially wrt. blue light content, is gaining awareness in the market.

I've been consulting with a company, that designs lighting whose spectral profile match specifications representative of ecological, industry, and human needs of a region.

I am curious how he got his hands on that. $900k is a lot of lawn mowing. Did he get lucky at a garage sale? Maybe there was a friendly donor?
No way ... except, perhaps, by reading TFA:

"Alex said his first breakthrough was buying a collection of 50 Apple computers — enough to fill a 26-foot-long U-Haul — with $2,000 he had saved from mowing lawns."

"Alex described himself as a longtime tinkerer who studied how tractors worked at the John Deere dealership, explored the innards of computers ... He was inspired to pursue Apple computers after he upgraded the hard drive and RAM on his first computer, the iMac G5, on his own."

And in a referenced article <http://www.cultofmac.com/417572/teen-uses-lawn-mowing-money-...:

"Alex quickly discovered he could not tinker much with his G5 because it was already at its limit for upgrading. So he sought older Macs for sale to take them apart, get them working, and learn how they are put together."

But I guess it's easier to just pontificate.

This is quite logical and I've been wondering--isn't this at odds with (future) dual SLI one-eye-per-card techniques?

Would it make sense for dual SLI VR setups to go back to the old "card 1 renders the top half of the screen and card 2 goes bottom"? Then you wouldn't need 2x sized framebuffers.
and yet the dollar is not substantially weakened vs other currencies, it is quite strong. This isn't a dollar specific phenomenon at all.

It seems a more appropriate statement would be destruction of all currencies purchasing power. Which leads me to wonder - what is the impact of that exactly?

Should the dollar be allowed to strengthen greatly (relatively to basket of all other currencies), is that what people are proposing? Can we guess at what the dollar based economy might do in that instance?

Yes, he can still decrypt the secrets he had access to before his key was revoked, just as he could have written down those secrets before he was fired. There is no difference really, and the way to solve that is the same for both cases - you change your secrets after such an event.
I agree, all of my tattoo's were carefully planned, expensive, and constant reminders of some very good memories.

the article lacks the major fuel of the current housing bubble in US/CA: the Chinese buyers. there is an estimated $500B capital outflow from China in 2015. guess a large part of that is in SF/BC/NYC/London real estate.

Does it matter if there's fine art inflation? The real estate inflation boom seems more linked to housing policy than QE too...

Declaring mass inflation for the dollar doesn't seem to align with how CPI is evolving though, and it's not like the dollar is losing much ground to foreign currencies. If standard purchases haven't changed much, and purchasing abroad hasn't changed much, could we say that things have changed much?

Though you're saying slowly, maybe I'll ride the bubble til it bursts just like the rest of 'em.

I think that this is extremely important. You mention iTunes, which does its best to pretend that there's no hierarchical file system underlying it. There is, of course, but—ugh, one look at it will make you long for a totally flat file structure.

I think that it's important that any hierarchical-file-system 'killer' actually not replace (or render meaningless), but only supplement, the often-useful hierarchical structure; and it looks like this tool does that.

(In case that looks like an argument, let me say explicitly that I am agreeing with you.)
It's mind-blowing to me that they did raw image mapping to steering angle, without any manual feature extraction whatsoever. This is just revolutionary.
"I have a right to live here" is to me a less bizarre claim than "I have a right to impose a height limit on the neighborhood I live in" or "I have a right to tie up housing stock and keep it empty at the cost of disrupting other people's lives."
If you are worried that you won't like your tattoo in 20 years, then you are correct in not getting one.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people mistake market trade-offs as deliberately engineered hardships (often by a cabal, in a kind of morality play) despite over 150 years of economics as a formal discipline explaining these emergent phenomena, albeit imperfectly. It's almost akin to possessing a pre-scientific belief in the thundering skies representing a god's wrath

I would say that is like the difference between the KJV and other translations of the bible. KJV is just plain wrong a lot of the time but the writing is very good.
>you have to rotate the underlying secrets as well (people don't do this and shouldn't have to).

How is that different from the case of an employee having written down the secrets and leaving the company later on? In both cases the employee has had access to the secrets and in both cases the only way to be secure is to change them.
Well, I disagree. It doesn't matter where you store them, repo or not: even if they're not in a "repo", they're stored somewhere, and when you revoke access from someone to that somewhere, you still have the same problem: the party that you're revoking access from had access at one point. For all you know, they copied the secret while they had access. You can't "revoke" information from someone's mind: you MUST rotate the secret to accomplish that.

If anything, I like the git repo idea b/c — presuming that the repository stores a history of who had access to what, when — it removes the question of whether you need to rotate a secret. You can look at the history, and if the secret didn't get rotated when access was removed or at some time afterwards, you know you're not secure.

Compare that to say, a random file somewhere, say on a deployment node in deployment code, or alongside that code so as to keep it out of a repo, that just keeps the latest copy of the secrets, where one doesn't know when access was revoked. Do the keys need rotation?
You're making 2 arguments here:

1. Publishers can't compete if they behave ethically. If this is true, then the solution is simple: if you can't run your business ethically then close your business. However, I believe that it's entirely possible for publishers to compete ethically; there are, for example, plenty of business models besides selling ad space.

2. Publishers are only accomplices in serving malware. We can't ignore publisher's role in serving malware and blame the ad networks. Both the ad networks AND the publishers are to blame.
