There is a more fundamental issue - try answering questions about science with a six year old and google. Yes, they can frame their question, yes they can type it into google, yes google provides links. But, click on the links and ads, speedbumps and plain clickbait stop them dead. Very disappointing. Ok you say, put an adblocker on.. well yes but there goes the revenue that keeps many sites online.
Yes, seems so.
Actually, they can go negative like Japan. Which I guess would push asset prices even higher?
Prediction: over time, there will remain no commercially significant high-end chips without this sort of a "security subsystem." Recommending ARM, PowerPC or other architectures over x86 as the FSF suggests will not get you very far because the problem (or as chip vendors call it, the solution) is not in the ISA, it's in the chip, and every chip vendor making the sort of chip that can power a general-purpose computer will end up being this way.

Of course in practice, as long as say Linux runs on the machine, the existence of the ME or the like is almost inconsequential for the user, because you run the same software, and there's never a shortage of security vulnerabilities right there in the OS and the userspace software. In terms of the impact on the number of vulnerabilities, eliminating C and C++ would go way further than eliminating black box "security" hardware, just because the huge amount of C and C++ code, much of it written hastily and committed the moment it "runs on my machine", presents a much larger attack surface than the black box hardware + software system. But of course the FSF will never recommend ditching C and C++.

I think your sites need to be "on" cloudflare (i.e., the cloud icon in the DNS settings page needs to be orange and not grey) for other features like SSL and Page Rules to work. Specifically for Github Pages I configured both my apex custom domain and my www subdomain to point to myusername.github.io. Cloudflare will automatically follow myusername.github.io and return the origin IP when requests are made to the apex custom domain, something they call CNAME flattening, and similar to the ALIAS and ANAME records offered by other DNS providers. Plus I set SSL as "Full" but NOT "Full(Strict)" as the latter won't work with Github Pages' servers. There are some anecdotal reports I've read saying that for some Github Pages sites even Full SSL doesn't work, so if that's the case you can try Flexible SSL which should work in all cases. And of course as the other responder said, don't forget to redirect all your http requests to https using a Page Rule along the lines of http://*mydomain.com/* --> 301 redirect --> https://[www].mydomain.com/$2

Hope that helps.

You could compare 14.04 and 7 but not 16.04 and 7.
Eventually you could compare CentOS 8 when it comes out this year.

Thanks for sharing examples. These along with music related examples appear to be of one quick transaction of a fixed specification product with no commitment of ongoing support unlike 'longer duration' courses from Coursera or a subscription based ongoing relationship. Also these examples seem to avoid the free option and offer a broad pricing range.

A quick 'back of the envelope' estimate of revenue and cost of BandCamp service (enough public info available) seem to suggest this pricing model might have low profitability.
My brand new Thinkpad T550 has an explicit ME config firmware I can enter. PRESS ENTER TO INTERRUPT BOOT -> F1 BIOS, F12 CUSTOM BOOT DEVICE, F9 INTEL ME SETUP

I can enter into it but its vital parts are password protected. Even though it is my computer, I cannot configure and control it. Scary. This is not the future I wanted.

I think it works well because there are incentives: pay more than the average to unlock a few additional games, and pay more than X to unlock everything.

I don't know if unlocking everything by default would work that well.
I am not glad there isn't such American plant yet. I foresee a day where plants are engineered to be flexible and cost efficient enough to mass produce at blink of an eye with a new design. We still have a very long way to go to exploit our own ingenuity, and this is only talking about automation.

I'm not discounting the short-cutted (or -sighted) approach that TP-Link seems to be taking, but isn't that exactly the stakes of a corporatocratic system like this one? The producers fall in line, even those whose hardware I otherwise adore. I own at least a dozen TP-Link products, but their loyalty isn't to my right to free expression.

Leanpub co-founder here. We're really happy with our minimum price + suggested price strategy, and have no plans to change it.

When coupled with our sliders which clearly show the (very high, 90% minus 50 cents) royalties that are earned by the author(s), and with our free update distribution, we get a lot of benefits for our authors, including:

1. When there is a low or a free minimum price, readers who otherwise could not afford a book can get it legitimately. This can help build a community around the book. For example, https://leanpub.com/rprogramming has over 80,000 readers (free + paid), and while it has a free minimum price, it is also our top book by lifetime revenue.

2. Quite often, there is so much extra income earned by readers paying above the minimum price that it entirely offsets refunds. (We have a 45-day 100% refund policy.)

3. Because of the royalty transparency, variable pricing, 45-day refunds and the fact that readers are supporting authors by buying in-progress books, there's a very, very low amount of nastiness. I really like seeing author and reader email; quite often "I love Leanpub" is part of the sentiment, regardless of whatever issue is occurring. (We also sell completed books, but much of what Leanpub is based on is our writing workflow and our focus on selling in-progress books...)
Well then you are agreeing with me, because that is what I said. One webapp cheaper, faster and less risk than multiple native apps.
Is it really developer hostile that Apple is not bending over backwards to provide free tools to Windows and Linux users? I think it's prudent of them not to waste money on such a small segment, some of which vehemently hate Apple. And when you talk about build servers you are still spending money on some machine to build your iOS app. You can get pretty good used Mac hardware if you really want to. For all those developers sitting on the sidelines refusing to develop iOS apps because they can't setup a build server on Azure, etc. Well, you're just making excuses.
I was about to suggest coordinating a bit to make a torrent for each course and avoid generating too much trafic downloading them, but it seems to be prohibited by the ToS ("You may download content from our Services only for your personal, non-commercial use, unless you obtain Coursera's written permission to otherwise use the content".)

They are threatening violence ("stiff fines"). There must be a way to organize something in order to call their bluff. Make them prove that they are willing to risk their lives and die for what they believe in.
Ranked play is nothing other than a mechanic to match you with players of equal skill at a game. I posit that maybe every multiplayer game should have it, even cooperative games, since it removes the terrible experience that is having experienced players play with brand new ones.

I understand your point about conflating "competitive" and "difficult", but there is a reason why people couple the concepts together: there's no point in competitively playing a game with a low skill ceiling. An extremely contrived example of this: Rock-Paper-Scissors is a competitive, PvP game and yet no one would ever host tournaments for it because of the ridiculously low skill ceiling; there's not enough to differentiate an experienced player from a brand new one.
For the first few years of the Mac, you had to buy a Lisa to do development at somewhat more than $500!

Interesting matches my experience - I've had many BMW's over the years - currently x5 4.8 and 535d - when they work, they are fantastic but and a big but, they are so unreliable and so expensive to maintain in the UK, main dealer labour rates are over £200 ($300) per hour, non dealers cheaper but struggle with the complexity so often give up and part prices can be crazy - eg £2k to replace a diesel particulate filter.

It's extremely disheartening to find out about the Obama administration's position. There are so many problems in the country that urgently need to be addressed, but instead the DEA is mucking around in prescription records which deserve protection.

We should indeed raise a stink about this foul situation. Most of all it's time to abolish the worthless DEA.
It sounds like a sufficient mechanism would be to have the following options:

* A simple majority vote for designating a player 'too weak for this level of play'.

* A strong majority vote (>75%; in a team of 5 this would be 4+) for designating a player 'a troll'.

* Either of the above ejecting the player from the team at that instant.

* Allowing all other votes to proceed as normal (N-1 required to resign a match).
I have also received such an email, yet reading it states that in the fall the course will be started (finally) on a new backend.

We are really excited to have you in the course Cryptography II! We’re reaching out because this course is being moved to our new platform which is why your enrollment in the June 13th session of this course has been cancelled.
That said, you’ll be able to take the course soon on our new platform in Fall 2016. Our entire team is working hard to create the best learning experience possible for you and we really appreciate your patience with this small delay.
Did udacity block access to any of the earlier courses though? I can still access all free courses I've ever found on the site (and with the videos available on youtube)
I believe this is the quote you're referring to, by Erik Demaine on 6.006:

"I use BFS a lot, myself, to check mathematical conjectures. [...] You think something is true, you can imagine some graph of all possible inputs to that theorem and you'd need to check them. Typical way of doing that is BFS through that entire graph of states. Usually we're testing finite special cases of a general conjecture, but if we find a counterexample, we're done, don't have to work on it anymore. If we don't find a counterexample then we have to do the mathematics."

You are correct. I've started Android Development since I did not want to work on Apple Hardware.

I don't like the "just different" attitude concerning some basic things (Why can't I order a MacBook with full printed special character keyboards AND none of those non-standard key bindings(especially horrible on German Keyboards)? Why can't they offer a Version of Finder that is not insanely infuriating to people used to Windows or Ubuntu?) that are just hostile to people who don't drink their brand of kool-aid.

I'm happily developing on Windows and if I ever feel badly served by this, switching to Ubuntu is a very warm well trodden road.

I really don't get what people See in Macs, other than the tribe factor.
Maybe not intentional feeding, but if one or two people are having a bad game, you can get to a point where you've clearly lost in the first ten minutes, but since the opposing time is refusing to advance and there's no surrender, you have to waste 20 more getting slowly crushed.

Sounds like another good reason to consider banking stem cells, as described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11830407

In this case the article describes using chemotherapy to stimulate generation of stem cells, then scrubbing them of the disease before reintroducing. I have no expertise in this field, but I would think having a bank of healthy stem cells would have simplified the procedure and perhaps improved the likelihood of positive outcomes.

@markkat if you're reading this, do you have any comment?
How can you seriously think that Google developers not supporting other browsers than Chrome is ever a good thing? We are already headed quickly enough towards a Chrome monopoly and Google abusing their dominant position on the internet to make other browsers look bad isn't making that any better.
> Rape is a real thing, and when it happens, thats bad. Lying and spinning and smearing are also real things that happen.

That's what upset me the most. We saw accusations of abusive behaviour used to justify abusive behaviour. And we saw accusations of abusive behaviour used to slip in claims about plagiarism without even attempting to back those up. Regardless of the plausibility of the accusations against Appelbaum, since two wrongs don't make a right, that (and the unwillingness or inability to address it) made the assumption of good faith impossible. And that's not even mentioning the "totally unrelated" Twitter account.

The whole "conspiracy" stuff is a red herring to me. That is, people can speculate about that until the cows come home -- but not to dismiss the obvious, the whole campaign as well as the shaming people who spoke out against the process, and the attempt to excuse bypassing the legal system with how bad it is, then being so much worse. The list of WTFs is long.

Does that say it all, yet? How far does it have to go?

It was really fun getting ignored and downvoted or mocked by a throwaway just for actually asking hard questions and not just patting some "respected whoevers" on the back, by the way.

The difference between peer pressure and peer review is that with peer review, the more peers you have, the more eyes on the problem you have. With peer pressure, you still only have one set of eyes, but more peers make it squint harder, until it's completely shut. And this was a great demonstration of that, of the total absence of that free thinking hacker spirit that's so easy to print on the label of a tin, but so hard to keep alive in one.

No hard feelings, but know this: seeing someone with a torch and pitchfork, or seeing someone close their curtains as if they haven't seen anything when a lynch mob is out and about, is not really better than seeing someone be abusive to a person, sexually or otherwise. Until you see that person repent and make fantastic changes, it changes something irrevocably. You cannot unsee it. Same goes for "communities".
I respect the principle. For me it hinges on how much of this was communicated to the employee and in what way. If they explicitly told you, and put it into an employee contract at least it would be a consideration. If it was either not explicitly comunicated by a human it would be a bad overreach, especially for a non riot handle. I think the degree of transparency & communication is important, and whether you represent the company (e.g. Riot handled accts).

That said, random employee survellience is extremely fucked up, and I would not condone it.
Indeed. I feel a gamefication theme to some of it. Think of the opposite:

Socrates had his teachings and live lectures online, with recorded classroom, and feedback, for all to comment on, with his replies. It may have only been 'live' for 20/40 years of his life/teaching life/sharing life, but it would be amazing today.

MOOCs offer this opportunity for humanity, to record teachings in increasingly diverse formats that are free for others to use and experiment with.

With your disclaimer about the war on drugs in mind, rebuttal to a few things:

> Some number of those will end up hooked, and some number of those people will be breaking into houses (or worse) looking for stuff to sell so they can get their next hit.

But most folks won't do this stuff. Most folks won't even get addicted. It isn't like the US has affordable facilities to help folks, staffed with medical doctors and psychologists to help folks along. They do have AA and NA. A few are helped, many others aren't.

Some of the key with Portugal's decriminalization was they offered help to those addicted. Affordable help. Right now, you have people getting pills for surgery, etc. and some of them wind up addicted. Instead of the doctor being able to have an honest conversation with the person about warnings signs, etc, and offering free(!) help to those that wind up addicted, we choose to treat them like criminals.

>... let's not pretend these substances were made illegal out of groundless malice.

Only that isn't really true either. Some of the campaigns to make them illegal were based in racism. Misinformation was spread, both before and after. My grandmother thought pot would make people insane, for example. And research shows that most of these would have less effect on society than alcohol. There are drugs that I think are bad for folks that take them and their families, but we could actually help folks and their families instead. Punish for actual crimes instead of "a few of these folks could commit a crime".
How did they do that? You can't choose whom you queue with.

Yes, something ironic about the fact it may have the same flaw as the military one, and that neither administration, nor the military forces that are making so much stats to evaluate their field incident saw it... Oh, I forgot, yes the humvee has flawed (lack of resistance against RPG, direct hit, bombs).

Guess that could be the reason why so much humvees have been given by the army to the police force recently thanks to the 1033 program.

The best way to know for sure is to have someone who is not you, and who is not a potential employer, call each of your references and pretend to be reference-checking.
In addition, pure numbers as library name makes trouble in almost every programming language, because you can't use that directly as an identifier and have to find a workaround.

It seems that at least in Python the library is hence named "two1", not "21".

I guess they did it because the short domain (21.co) was available for their installation command:

curl https://21.co | sh

Not sure why the authors think anybody would type that in by hand, rather than just copy & paste it, though. So the short name doesn't help here, either.

In addition, the "curl | sh" type of installation has a bad reputation among developers, for security reasons. Which is especially critical when payment is involved. And which is even more critical when it is about automatic payment.

At least they prove a docker image in addition to that. But even here, no separate checksum is provided. Also, I can't see any digital signature. Or anything else to ensure integrity through a separate channel.
Not of those that did not specify any, I would imagine; you can use the ACME service without providing any email address at all.
Problem of security product is their designers often do shitty code with design flaw with very high privileges.

But be assured every thing is fine since for security reasons you cannot see their code.
Hi Quincy,

FreeCodeCamp's a great project. However, I always wondered about your long-term goals and "business model" (if there is one).

You're offering to integrate old Coursera courses into FCC. But what if you change your mind about openness further down the road ? Couldn't FreeCodeCamp become the Udacity/Coursera of tomorrow ?

The ratio of vehicles per person in Singapore is 0.18 (compare to about ~0.5 most places in the US). It's very easy to get a Taxi to any place not accessible by public transport. I would be astounded if there is any verifiable scientific study backing this claim.
