Thanks for the heads up - We do use https all through the actual web app, but the server has the option to run http or https together. We are in the process of making it enforce https on all web app pages. The main page should link to only https pages on the web app so I will check it out again to ensure it does.

I know the main page links to a documentation site and a blog, but those are running on two independent servers without https at this stage - we may add it later, but they are 'non critical' site that are purely informational and don't store any customer data.

As for the sister site, yes that was a quick weekend build also running on a separate server. Seeing as that is a totally zero revenue site, I didn't want to spend any additional $$$ out of pocket at this early stage (though I may try out one of those free SSL certs that are becoming available now). If it proves to be useful in funnelling users to our main HR site then I will definitely beef up the security on that too.
People's mental model of the world doesn't include principal-agent problems[1]. People with actual equity in competing businesses tend to be pretty rivalrous (e.g. owners of small independent restaurants on the same street); naively, if you don't see employees as anything more than extensions of those rivalrous owners, you'd expect them to behave the same. But instead, of course, "it's just a job."

Twitter Buys Magic Pony Technology to Expand in Machine Learning
I'm sure Satoshi has coins that others don't know about, the early blocks were all Satoshi but later blocks were mined by dozens of enthusiasts. Satoshi could have easily made an anonymous fortune in the early days.

I imagine Satoshi is out there keeping a close eye on the cryptocurrency scene. Maybe one day if action is needed (funding infrastructure, adoption of a bitcoin successor, destroying bitcoin??) he will put the early blocks into motion.
That's what 98% of the simulations say.

"The application is responsible for destroying any objects it allocates"

e.g. "the application must use sqlite3_finalize() on every prepared statement and sqlite3_close() on every database connection

I suggest that if you want to continue to assert that SQLite is not robust, you have to show us your code.
All of that is explained in the second paragraph of the article.
That claim is usually sourced to a guy named Bernard Cohen, who once volunteered to eat as much pure plutonium as Ralph Nader did caffeine. Nader demurred, and most people disavow Cohen, because who'd actually do that?

That said, consider Albert Stevens. He was (unknowingly) injected with 131 kBq of Pu, accumulating a lifetime dose of ~64 Sv, and died of heart disease some 20 years later.
Perhaps a reddit AMA would be better? They have much more flexible/powerful comment system.

I draw much from David Krakauer and J. Doyne Farmer, both of the Santa Fe Institute, and the latter's drawing on Muth (1980s).

Krakauer: Intelligence is Search. It's the ability to find a least-energy path or solution through an arbitrary n-dimensional space.

Knowledge is having a solid backing of (valid) data and models.

Ignorance is not having that data and model store. It's a curable state, though being primed with bad data and models is very damaging to effective search.

Krakauer gave a really good interview at Nautilus a year or so back on this, it's very highly recommended.

http://m.nautil.us/issue/23/dominoes/ingenious-david-krakaue...

Farmer, quoting Muth, looks at a model of engineering in which engineers generate solutions at random but are very good at identifying the better solution. I'm thinking that there are emperical reasons to suspect that this may not be far from the truth, and methods such as A/B testing seem to explicitly embody the identification element of this.

You'll find this covered in many of Farmer's recent talks (past few years), Martin School at Oxford and Nanjing University in particular, at YouTube.

Thanks. Good tip about the carousel - I may consider randomising the web page to show either/or and measure, or else increase the time on the carousel flip.

I don't use Acquire yet - mainly a cost reason because it would increase our monthly Intercom bill quite a bit, but also a 'back of the clock' reason. I notice that being in Australia, a LOT of site visits and new user subs happen in the middle of the night for me (i.e. on the other side of the world), and if I had users pinging me with questions etc. before signup then it would mean lots of sleepless nights, and less than stellar interaction with me.

I do plan to add it in later though, perhaps when I have enough revenue to add team members to look after acquisition and support.
A great companion to "Deep Work" is "Hooked". The second is more of a how-to guide to developing products that become habit-forming. But in seeing how it's done, there's the potential to free yourself from it's grasp.

After reading these books, OP's article feels a little under-researched. Content aggregators like HN, Reddit, Pinterest, and Twitter are essentially using reality as a content generation algorithm. The content provided by reality is the variable reward component of the hook model shown in "Hooked".

It's not just that there's tons of information, it's that we're wired to seek novelty. This is also seen with pornography addiction, which is a more widespread phenomenon than most people realize, or admit.

From a product perspective, is it possible to take advantage of this wiring of the human brain to perform useful work? In other words, if we're wired to seek novelty, and we can create information products that are highly addictive, can we direct human attention to particular problems?

That's not to say that comment chains on Reddit don't provide value, but so many human hours of effort are spent glued to these novelty engines. It all seems inefficient, unpurposeful.

But then again, if the wheels of the economy keep turning, that's all that matters, right? Where are we headed?
Ummm...the whole point is that she sold those shares to Google, donating large "paper profits" is a total other thing.

EDIT: Perhaps you're saying she donated her shares to the Donor Advised Fund first, and then the Fund sold the shares to Google? Possible I guess, but that's not what the SEC notice said.

I find N Back training to be actually effective from personal experience.
But by and large, the decision makers can't make those decisions, because of dependencies on open source systems that are too large to audit, or closed source systems where all they can do is trust the vendor's salesperson who says "oh yeah, it's secure".
As you said, SNS is mostly covered with PubSub but SQS and any sort of RDS for something other than MySQL are absent (notably Postgres). I like GCE a lot and we use it at $work but there's no excuse at this point to not have feature parity.
I wish they didn't do these tests on a Microsoft-made Surface Book...They should've taken a couple of other popular Windows 10 notebooks and maybe do the tests on those. Who knows how much of this difference is because of Edge itself (which is how well it would work on other notebooks, too), and how much it's the optimization they did for Edge for their own hardware.
How exactly are the profiles of the buyers posting the reviews raising suspicions?

You realize that the "buyer profiles" you're mentioning are actually "reviewer profiles" that only list what other reviews that buyer has posted. It does not tell you a buyer's history (unless they post a review for an item), nor does it tell you when they signed up. It's not uncommon for people who have been using Amazon for years to never post any reviews, at least not until they're disappointed by their purchase.

And I'm not so sure that pointing to a review they posted strengthens an A-z Claim, at all. If images played a role, they'd let buyers upload an image when filing a claim, but they don't let that happen. They just let you fill in info about the shipment and then give you 2000 characters to explain the claim.

That said, Amazon definitely sides with the buyer most of the time. Filing a claim makes it so that the seller is automatically guilty unless they can prove otherwise. Auxiliary proof of wrong-doing is not necessary at all, especially since, as you mentioned, most sellers do not have proof that they _didn't_ ship the clay.
That's really an Apples to Oranges comparison since Macs and PCs aren't comparable. Yes you could run Windows in BootCamp but it isn't tuned for that and is actually hampered. It would be like making a Surface Pro a hackintosh and using that as a basis for comparison.

I know of at least one person on LinkedIn using passwords of the form 2jzAwGyOzfxNoW0u3lTIIa (i.e., 22 digits & mixed-case letters); calculating 209.7 million hashes per second he should be able to crack his first one of that sort of password in about 182,686,540 years.

I cordially wish him the best.
Automate the ELK/EFK Stack and Clients with Ansible
I personally have no interest in joining Mensa, whether I'm qualified or not. I have no idea how many people generally would like to join, but my impression is that not everybody wants to.

I view intelligence as like this: in training camps for professional American football, prospective players perform physical tests: 40 yard dash, bench press reps, etc., and scouts for pro teams take note, because the results of those tests are correlated with actual professional performance. However, sometimes the guy that had no impressive stats becomes a stand out player, and sometimes the guy with amazing stats never amounts to much. Richard Feynman had an IQ of 125. JD Salinger had an IQ of slightly above average, and the guy with the highest recorded IQ worked as a bouncer for 20 years and hasn't accomplished anything intellectually ground breaking or significant in life.

Maybe cognitive tests have some correlation with what psychometricians call 'g,' general intelligence, but you're either naive, conceited, misinformed, or just plain stupid to think IQ is a meaningful number within the scope of an individual. Judging someone's intelligence is probably more complex than someone's athletic ability, and it's already not hard to see how ridiculous we're becoming when we ask: who is the best athlete: Usain Bolt or Peyton Manning? It is nothing more than a trait of the human mind that as a product of us defining important concepts such as athleticism and intelligence, we then, of course, desire to place ordinal ranking to answer the next obvious question: what is the most athletic, the most intelligence -- it is in an attempt of the human mind's desire to manipulate the thoughts and emotions of ourselves and the people around us; it is not done to understand reality.
More importantly, if your simulation software is made by a computer engineer without the direction of a scientist you might just end up with a really slow and biased random number generator.
regarding data quality, i've run into a few issues using Plaid for pulling my own financial data. I've had instances where the API returns duplicate charges that I confirmed were not duplicate on my bank/credit card accounts. I've also had issues with their unique id's too. When a pending charge is returned by the API they give it a unique id, but when the charge is approved they generate a new unique id for the approved charge rather than updating the existing id. They provide a field that lists the pending charge id for you to match up but i've had instances where those id's don't match up. I also run into issues where the access token for some of the institutions i have connected expire or suddenly don't work anymore so I need to re-authenticate.

I've emailed them about these issues and they've been pretty helpful in getting them resolved, but it made me reconsider building a consumer facing product on their API. I still use the API for personal use however

I'm guessing that if they are generating nanotubes for sale, their is a collection process that keeps the nanotubes in some sort of container.

How to run an Endurance Plug-in «Endurance Laser» for Inkscape.

Select a vector image (a set of contours) with the selection and transformation tool (a black arrow).

FILLS

Start with "Contour object."
Next, select the plug-in extension «Right G-Code» and then «G-Code ...».
The first tab: basic code and commands setting.
The second tab: setting of the curves and lines approximation accuracy with G-code commands.
The third tab: Hatching settings. Angle: Hatching angle in degrees from the horizontal axis counterclockwise. Distance: hatching pitch in microns (1/1000 mm).
The fourth tab: Display settings. Warning: in this version the file with the results is overwritten when the plug-in starts anew.
Two radio buttons Process and Generate:
Process: Only contours – process the G-code of the image contours
Process: Only fills -- process the G-code of the image fills
Process: Both contours and fills
Generate: Only lines - display all the processed lines (under the G-code)
Generate: Only G-code - write the processed G-Code to a file
Generate: Both lines and G-code
Result – the fills should be converted into the G-code, if it was not preset in the plugin settings.
Note: To create a stamp cliché:
• the vector version of the stamp imprint should be mirrored;
• create an outer circle for the stamp imprint, which will be burnt through for further cutting out of it a stamp.

You may download a plug-in on EnduranceRobots.com or Endurancelasers.com web sites.

> Why would it be undesirable for AI to have the capabilities you described

Precisely because of the ethical questions. I want problem-solving AIs to work on all the problems humanity needs solved, starting with "humans die" and then going on to lower-priority problems. I don't want AI to have goals and values of its own, which might potentially diverge from those of humans; I want it to serve humanity's goals and values. We can build a system capable of human-level problem-solving and well beyond, without actually creating a sentient being.

If, and that's a big if, we want to create an artificial sentient being, that's a separate problem with its own set of ethical concerns; that seems both more dangerous and far less useful than human-level problem-solving. (In the event we did create such a being, such a being would absolutely need to have the same rights as humans or any other sentient species; I'd just rather avoid having to define and draw such a line, and get distracted by the fight over that, when it'd be far more useful to have machines capable of solving problems.)

> but desirable for a digitized brain to have them?

I hope the value of preserving human life is self-evident. Humans already have those qualities and many more; I want to see human life last forever, with all its qualities.
This article reminds me of Neal Caffery from the USA Network original series "White Collar".

Sometimes, conman's life is fascinating.
As somebody who lives a mostly ad-free life, I totally agree. I think it's somewhat hard for people used to ads to appreciate how pervasive and manipulative they are. And it seems impossible to get people in the industry to see that maybe, just maybe manipulating people for a living is kinda sinister.

Even if it weren't, it's certainly wasteful. Advertising is mostly an arms race. Pepsi spends to challenge Coke. Coke spends even more to maintain hegemony. Neither is informing consumers, the perennial econ-theory justification for advertising. We all know those products exist. If we banned advertising tomorrow, consumers would be no worse off, and all those people could be doing something actually useful.
Interesting possibilities, right? Imagine automobiles, bridges, buildings all built with carbon frames at a cost potentially far lower than current aluminum or steel, and also consuming a fraction of the energy to produce?

There are many people who trade the market based on charts. Because the charts are well known, traders know what the sell signal is for a specific security. So, they will sell that security below the trigger so that all the suckers ... um ... people using IFTTT for the stock market will automatically sell the security. This will tank the stock presenting the pro trade with a buying opportunity.
So let me get this straight:

1. Intel loses this business.

2. US employees lose their job.

3. China acquires skills designing the system themselves.

4. And they get to have their supercomputer after all.

You're right, it seems like there are a few cheap and easy fraud solutions. You can probably trust the older account that makes regular purchases on Amazon. I bet you can trust a long-time Amazon Prime member even more. Heck, maybe "seller insurance" can be a feature of Prime.

Thanks. I've been thinking about your questions. I might be misreading you but I think that the answer is probably yes to both. So we should try to get out of the middle ages by inventing new theories and criticising and testing them like physics. But maybe just the physicists should do that. In the meantime the engineers should focus on being able to communicate clearly with the best tools that are currently available.(part of which is restricting their desire to invent)
