The entire point of certificate pinning is to ignore the certificates the user installs... Nothing to do with the operating system at all. If the software doesn't want to connect because the wrong certificate is presented to it that's where it ends. You can install as many local roots as you want, it won't change a thing.

No, I genuinely have no idea what I'm signing up for if I was to put in my email. Autoresponder list? Pricing? Per email? Users?
Just to keep it in memory? Postgres does this already-- it will put tables or parts of tables in memory to speed up reads [1].

Even assuming coal, at least it is easier to install proper scrubbing in large fixed installations like generation plants.

I'm not sure about the tradeoff in efficiency between electricity transmission and generation in larger capacity: I'm just going to assume the cost and benefit in this set cancel out since we have more larger installations than local power generation.
Ever since visiting I find it weird when movies or TV shows have double-key "terrible thing" control systems where both keyholes are within reach of one person.
Agreed. Hell, it doesn't even have to be aerobic.

Installing a pull-up bar in my apartment has noticeably improved the quality of my work, as well my own enjoyment of working.

Any time I feel a bust of frustration in my gut, or any time my code is compiling, I get up and crank a few (like 5) out.

Makes a world of difference.
Awfully pricy, but I'm tempted. I've been through 3 generations of Roombas. They didn't work that well, but I'm a gadget freak.

This one seems more like a serious "vacuum cleaner" and not just a carpet-sweeper like the roomba.

OptionMetrics began 15 years ago with the goal of becoming the world's most trusted provider of financial information and research derived from the option markets. Today, our data and analytic models are used within over 250 investment banks, hedge funds, and academic institutions worldwide.

Here at OptionMetrics, you'll work alongside a team of exceptionally creative and intelligent developers and quants, collaborating daily to brainstorm and implement our next generation of data and analytic information products. We're small, agile, casual (no suits -- shoes optional), and passionate about our mission and the projects we create. And, since we are self-funded and profitable (no VC's!), we can afford to take the long view, emphasizing quality over expediency in all we do. As a member of our development team, you will have true ownership over your projects from beginning to end, with an emphasis on accountability over micromanagement.

Rackspace London Cloud Database Outage
I suggest searching the internet for a couple of minutes for reviews of this application process before you continue. I didn't take heed of the warnings about unresponsiveness and got bit. I submitted an application after grayfox claimed that the review process described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11611867 was improved, and I sincerely felt that my time would be respected during the process.

After submitting the first round of homework assignments in early May, Compose changed the application rules. According to the posted guidelines I expected a contract gig or an in person interview upon progression. Instead, I was given a second homework assignment, asking for real feedback and product improvement recommendations.

I figured that must have been in response to a large number of applications, and that I was still in the running, so I spent 6 hours more on diagramming their architecture and recommending improvements. Total time for homework: 12hrs.

I followed up mid-June to see whether or not a review had been made, and was told that my submission was still in the review process. It's August now and I haven't heard anything - but I _have_ taken a position with a much more responsive company.
Except that Musk currently only has two, and both are doing quite well and delivering on their promises (aside from deadlines, which they miss with reckless abandon).

Poll: Whatsapp vs. Linkedin: Which was a better purchase?
5-10 years from now which of these will look like a better purchase? Whatsapp went for 19billion Linkedin for 26. I think Linkedin had a more mature business model, but this things can change quite quickly as we have seen with with AOL,Blackberry, Nokia, Myspace, etc.
It's one thing to be able to know the classical equations of how something works (e.g. Maxwell's equations in this case, or Navier-Stokes is another good example), and quite another to understand the practical dynamics of the system as it evolves through time under boundary conditions that you care about (like the inside of a jet engine).
For sure: as much as Go really was widely-talked about as an AI goal, real language processing has been the goal since, well, Turing. Even more importantly, it remains to be seen how far the current neural network approach extends, and it could still be only successful at certain tasks, with a bigger paradigm shift needed to crack language and so on. But I don't think it's worthwhile to make a hard, fundamental distinction between game-playing and language, such that one requires "real" intelligence and the other is something else.

After all, we possess a single machine that can both play Go and use language, and do far more things besides, and it really does look like the brain is re-using a lot of its structures for these different problems. You can theoretically solve Go, and you can't solve language, but the brain doesn't try to solve either (and neither does Deepmind); there's at least some hope that one paradigm can be applied to both these problems, and the reason we originally turned to neural networks was because of their (admittedly highly superficial) resemblance to our one positive case of intelligence.

So I do take issue with the idea that language understanding is "strictly" harder than board games; that's an artifact of the paradigm used. The idea that the number of rules and exceptions to rules is the 'objective' mark of a task's difficulty only applies to a certain kind of processing agent, and our one example of intelligence clearly uses a different one. For most of the past ten millennia, the only information processing agents on the planet had far more ease communicating with natural language than crushing at board games; ask some now to either write an essay or beat Lee Sedol 4-1, and they'll tell you which is easier. The fact that board game mastery is easier for our AI attempts than basic speech isn't a sign that they've secretly been easier this whole time; for a certain kind of processing agent, communicating in a poorly-defined space has been much easier than mastering a clearly-defined one, and if our AIs don't match that pattern, it's only another reason to wonder if we're on a different path.

Thanks for the anecdotal data, glad to know there are still options. The overall stats in the chart may be skewed by the expensive institutions becoming that much more expensive, but still… my anecdote is that the regional state school I graduated from in 2004 (not a community college, but not a top-ranked place) is in the $5k-$6k range for 15-credit in-state semester today. And I checked that its below average for in-state tuition, all the state schools are in that range.

If your "transfer…" comment refers to community college, that's a smart financial decision but not exactly the topic of the post I was replying to.

Gh-ost: GitHub's online schema migration tool for MySQL
The thing is, it doesn't necessarily HAVE TO. I loved my Windows Phones, my wife and grandmother both have a Lumia 950 and they do everything they need to do, they don't require constant maintenance like every Android device I have supported and didn't cost a small fortune to get a device with an acceptable amount of storage (plus the camera is great, good combo for my wife). Ultimately though, the entire product is driven by Microsoft, and they maintain an Apple-like grip on their devices.

With a "proper" linux-based phone anyone (assuming the hardware isn't crazy locked down) can contribute to the success, even if it remains a niche not everyone cares about snapchat or the hippest app of the month, if I can connect to my work VPN (this is actually where I ended up switching to an iPhone, there's no AnyConnect client for Windows Phone), use an email client with Exchange support, and have a modern web browser I'm mostly set for a daily driver - sure, it's nice to be able to use Netflix, Amazon Video, PlayStation Vue on my phone, but I've got my TV, my desktop or my tablet for all of that.

Sometimes I feel like I reallocate my facilities for speech and spatial navigation, to the extent that I need 20 minutes to 'switch gears' before I can function normally again.

I was intrigued by the title, and disappointed by the article.
> I would conjecture that China was never a large part of Uber's valuation.

I would conjecture the opposite as Uber investors were pitched on the China growth story

> Four out of the top 10 are now in China, according to an email sent by Uber CEO Travis Kalanick to investors and obtained by the Financial Times.

> In the request for money from investors, Kalanick explained just how fast the company is growing:

> Passengers in China are taking 1 million trips per day.
Uber is in 11 cities in China, but plans to launch in 50 more cities that have a population of more than five million this year. These are all cities comparable to the size of Miami, Kalanick said in the email.

> Four out of Uber's 10 largest cities are in China.

> After nine months in Chengdu, the city is seeing 479 times the number of trips that New York did at the same mark. Hangzhou is 422 times larger than New York at the same nine-month mark and it is adding 200,000 residents a week.

> The company is planning on investing more than $1 billion into UberChina, which goes by YouBu or "an excellent step forward", locally.

> It is now the largest market outside of the U.S., and "at the current growth trajectory, will most likely surpass the US before year-end," Kalanick said int he email.

So they get some attention, and then they either fade out or take over. Either way, we're back where we started. The problem isn't that third parties don't get enough attention, the problem is that the way the electoral system is designed, there can only be two significant parties. You might change the names of those two parties, but that won't really do much.
> because they're helping to enable the higher-profit performers.

But it's the other way around in GP's example. The basketball/running/whatever athletes are enabling the javelin athletes to even have a venue of this magnitude in the first place. If javelin/archery/whatever was cut from the olympic roster, would the Olympics have substantially fewer viewers?
Thanks for the feedback @iamben, we are going to add more info about that.
Aston Martin’s $3M Hypercar Takes F1 Performance to the Road
Perhaps it was determined by trial and error! Or maybe the earlier oven iterations happened to get lucky. We don't know that embedding a flyscreen on the door of the food chamber was necessarily the look that people would have gone for!

Now of course there are statutory "radiation leakage" limits in most markets. One might easily imagine that engineers would take a few goes at implementing the Ezy-Look-Into oven sketched by the folks over at industrial design, measure the emissions levels with thinner wire screens, and shrug it back with several binders full of readings. When experiment and theory are in disagreement, the product manager is unlikely to fund too much research into picking apart Maxwell's Other Equations. Given the known configurations for "good enough" microwave shielding, presumably the design team gets to sign off on a suitable colour instead of insisting on mechanically-etched glass impregnated with nanowires.

modblock | Manchester, UK | Remote possible | full time/part time

modblock is a startup operating in the gaming industry, looking to bridge the gap between freelance developers and actual game developers. Our product is a software, built to ease the integration of content created by freelance developers into existing video games.

Our ambitions with modblock are to provide new gaming experiences for players, empower freelance developers through monetisation and enable game developers to leverage more out of their games with new streams of content and revenues. Each of these ambitions has its own challenges, but we’re convinced that execution could represent a real turning point in game development.

moblock is still at a very early stage and we are looking to hire a CTO with great game development experience, to build our product and help us turn modblock’s vision into reality. More than experience, we’re looking to bring on board a true gaming passionate that wants to have a positive impact on the industry!

Responsibilities:

* building the modblock platform and ensure its maintenance for a smooth end-user experience.

* working closely with CEO to ensure that modblock vision is maintained throughout the development phase.

* ensure that customer feedback is taken into account and implemented to improve the experience.

* having an vivid interest in innovations in the fields of software and game developments.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

* 5+ years of game development experience and modding, knowledge of C++/C# a plus. ESSENTIAL.

* Extensive knowledge of software and web development (HTML, CSS) desirable.

* Strong passion for gaming and good knowledge of the PC gaming landscape.

If you’re interested and would like to discuss, please get in touch at najib.elkihel@gmail.com.
Tabs May Trump Spaces in Public Vote
I don't see how there is any honesty in watching ads. You seem to be implying that I, as an Internet user, have agreed to view ads in return for content and that I'm being dishonest by not viewing the ads.

I believe the reverse is true. Content providers promise content via hyperlinked text instead they dishonestly deliver content plus ads, something I did not agree to.
Agreed, and I would love to move to a more proportional voting system. Ontario had a vote a while back to move to mixed-member proportional but the folks behind it failed to explain it well enough for people to understand, in my opinion, so it failed.
The extremely rare talent is not what makes the Olympics possible.
The marketing machine (which is run by the executives) are what make it possible.

The top 100 athletes in every sport could sit out the Olympics, and the TV ratings and corporate sponsorship would take only a slight dip.

WonderKiln | NodeJS/Meteor Backend Developer | Remote

Type: Full-Time/Part-Time

Location: Remote (we are located in Akron, Ohio)

Company Name: WonderKiln

We are a small boutique consultancy, with a entirely remote team, heavily focused on great experiences (design, code, animations, etc). We take great pride in our design and development, only working on projects we build from the ground up handling design, brand, and development.

We are looking for another backend developer who is flexible and willing to work with an small existing team in a fully remote capacity. The key trait we are looking for is independence and self-motivation to tackle problems and hit deadlines. Experience with frontend development and a eye for implementing designs as per mockups/etc is a huge plus but not mandatory.

We currently work with MeteorJS as our primary framework and while experience with this is a big benefit, it's easy to pickup so if you don't have much experience, still feel free to reach out! Generally looking for experience with NodeJS, MongoDB, Angular/React/Vue, etc.

The goal is to find someone who can jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and past experience!

Contact: austin [at] wonderkiln.com

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!
The remaining candidates? Sure, but that's a pretty low bar. There were others vying for the libertarian nomination. I'd argue that Rand Paul is a better libertarian than Johnson, even.
