GitHub doesn't support custom SSL for pages. A workaround is to change your DNS provider (which is probably Namecheap right now) to Cloudflare and use Cloudflare's free SSL (so it essentially will be an SSL proxy).

You can do this wile still maintaining Namecheap as your registrar, and it's totally free.
Cloudflare free flexible ssl plan, powers a lot of internet - - do you know you talk to server of the owner? No. You even don't know if cloudflare is transmitting everything in plain text after reaching them. Probably most of the time it does.

Second, Chinese internet users are NOT familiar with imgur or reddit at all. Look at the stats yourself.[1]

That's incredibly unlikely, really.

Firstly, and most notably, the EU is overwhelmingly popular in Ireland. (in the most recent eurobarometer I've seen, 2nd highest for "positive image of the EU" - http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/eb/eb83/eb83_fir... )

Second, Ireland is a net recipient within the EU - we receive more than we give. And that doesn't even take the bailout into account. We honestly can't afford to turn that away.

Third, the whole USP of Ireland's corporate-friendly approach is to give multinationals a "cheap, friendly foothold" in the EU. Instead taxing them heavily, we rely on attracting enough of them to balance it out (quantity vs quality).

So the people don't want to leave the EU, and wouldn't benefit from it. The state don't want to, and wouldn't benefit from it. And the MNCs such a move would pretend to defend, don't want to and wouldn't benefit from it.

I firmly believe if voting were made as easy and satisfying as hitting a "Like" button, we would have astronomical "turnout" rates.

However, I can't get over two problems with that. The ease of hacking and the failure of our democracy to create secure, open-source digital voting (see: Diebold) and the inability to prevent vote-stealing. Think about if on voting day, your employer demanded to use your phone to cast a vote using your account or you'd be fired.

Anecdote: I had a far-too-large dose produce obvious precipitated withdrawal – intense sneezing, elevated body temperature, and nausea. It resolved in a few hours. The plant contains a mix of agonists and antagonists IIRC, and this seemed to be protective. I don't use the stuff anymore, but it certainly didn't ruin (or even really damage) my life.
I'm not saying the FDA is all bad, but there are a lot of people that are dying that would like to try certain drugs that could save them but they can't.
This reminds me of a quote from Aesop: "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
You're right that if fraud is being committed, you should not be a passive observer.

But education is a much better option than regulation. Regulation is inflexible, and subject to enforcement by people who have the exact same set of flaws and bad judgements as the groups that we're trying to defend ourselves from.

You're right about this being a "schools of thought" difference. You have a good example, about "might we give the government powers to do things, because it could be better at it than we."

That's really the fundamental question, and I appreciate that you got to that core issue so quickly!

My thought (I'm not OP, but I think he and I might agree) is that since the fundamental weakness we're trying to fix is a part of human nature.

Some people will act against the interest of others, even while saying they are acting in their good.

So, the solution is not to give more power to one group (who's subject to the same weaknesses as any other group) but to make sure we avoid giving power to one group where they can have undue influence over others if they fall prey to those weaknesses of human nature.

I fully expect to have companies try to screw me. I fully expect the government to do the same, in some situations. I wish, however, that I could disregard the negative impact of the government as easily as I could the negative impact of the companies.

But I cannot, because one of those groups can override my preferences with its own.
It's a gilded cage. At any moment he and his family could be incarcerated or killed for saying the wrong thing. Quite possibly his wife is a spy, and even if she isn't he probably suspects her.
> ... clunky, unreliable clone of older Microsoft Office products. It was still better than a kick in the teeth though.

That's exactly why i am using Open/Libre office; at some point Microsoft Office got such a complicate UI (ever since they pushed the ribbon bar - that's when they kicked me in the teeth) that i am unable to use it - the alternative uses a much less complicated UI so i am with it.
Does the MS Office UI conform with the Windows UI guidelines ? I am not quite sure..

As for 'unreliable' - i can't share this perspective; LibreOffice works for me; didn't have any problems with OpenOffice either - before i switched to LibreOffice. I switched because LibreOffice is supposed to have better support.

Interesting that MS often gets to a point where the UI is quite adequate, but then they have to come up with something new, so they come out with an update that breaks it all. Happened with Windows, Office, Visual Studio, Visual Basic - you name it; i think it also happened with gmail - so it does not seem to be something exclusive to MS; i wonder if that is a general law of software development.
It's PHP and Javascript. MVC on client and server, but no frameworks. The 2nd year cost is the same as the first, but you only have to pay if you want to continue getting upgrades. But you're certainly free to continue using the version you have forever.

I'd recommend listening to act one from This American Life ep. 556 (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/556/s...). They interview two people captured by Kim Jong-Il to make movies. It sounded like a pretty easy life, but there's no joy in it if you can't leave.

But what is the code generated when the value of N is not known at compile time. i.e it is a user provided value (which is the more interesting case since it happens all the time) -- does the fold still get abstracted into a for-loop kind of thing in the generated code?
This may seem like really basic and obvious advice, but I’ve always found it helpful to think about solving a much smaller problem, solving that, and then going to management with that as a guidepost for building out the larger project. Putting “Build Data+ML Pipeline from scratch” + “In 2 weeks” is a great way to lose all hope and feel like you are drowning.

For example, PaulHoule mentioned Enron emails. Could you build a pipeline to ingest those emails and provide sentiment or some basic text analysis? That would give you a deliverable (so management/the team sees you are working towards something) you can quantify into sprints. Make sure you are building something that could be development into a production ready pipeline, and not just a toy script you can put out in a day or two.

After that is built, I’d use that as a guidepost for what you need to build. Show them the project and then use that to define the different stages you need to build for the production application. Include risks, blocking issues, and what you need from other team members. For example, you can point out that after a certain point in developing the pipeline you simply cannot move forward without data or emails.

Management/The team is going to come back to you with one of the following. 1) That is a good plan and we like/dislike the timeline. 2). That is a bad plan, change it. 3). Leave us alone, we hired you so we don’t have to deal with this stuff.

If they do 3) that’s bad. If they do 2), you should evaluate who is being unrealistic – you or them. At my last job we lost great data scientists because lots of other people thought Stats/ML was magic that could be done with a simple R/Python script. The end result was severely rushed work done to unrealistic standards, resulting in massive technical debt – some projects were just a house of cards.

Not sure being held against your will, out of touch with your friends and family, unable to visit much less talk to them, can be dismissed as a "good life", no matter what you are provided with materially.

Or to take a less extreme example than this (in some ways), Ed Snowden might make good money on the speaking circuit, but even then, would any of us envy being effectively exiled from our home, never allowed to return?

Adapting to a new place or a new culture can be psychologically hard even when you want to do it.

Exile or imprisonment is pretty cruel under any circumstances.
Palo Alto certainly has its NIMBYs but the problem is we need our downtown as, well, a downtown: a place to by aspirin, get a meal, have shoes repaired etc. Basically a mix of retail. We have tech parks for businesses. Worse, companies like Palantir have their own cafeterias and other services (they took over face book's, though it was unused for a while after FB moved out, and also converted a copy shop into a cafeteria) which means all those employees aren't even helping the remaining restaurants, while squeezing out foot traffic.

The other problem is that when you have only a couple of large tenants, when they move out (by failing or growing) you suddenly have a bombed-out glut of empty space in a quiet downtown.

This isn't really ideological: there's another "problem" which we don't address which is that PA downtown has more chain shops and places for tourists (e.g. cheesecake factory) rather than locals. Though I live within walking distance of downtown I often go to cal ave or midtown for my needs. That's an ebb and flow of fashion (over the years the number of chain stores has risen and fallen) and doesn't need intervention. But this overtaking of the downtown has hysteresis effects that could be very bad.

" In the old days, there were only so many things people had to understand"

Most of them were illiterate, had very little access to any real news.

The very concept of 'unbiased' news is a modern American phenom. Of course all news is still biased, but they try/pretend not to be.

In the 'old days', newspapers were propaganda tools of the owners and their political peers - if you wanted to get elected to 'Senate' or whatever, the best thing to do would be to 'buy a newspaper' - which many of them did.

Have a look at 'old timey' news - it's really almost funny - it's all mockery and slander. That said - it had a lot of wit! At least some of it was smart :).

But yes - the world is very complicated today - I agree with that sentiment.

I was using VGA to drive a 1920x1200 monitor at work for months. The image was more than sufficient to write code on. Most people looking at VGA on a TV at TV viewing distances wouldn't be able to tell the difference. You get more artifacting from the video codec than VGA output.
It sort of does, but of course it's all politics. If the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) (under whom the FDA operates) or an interested outside party petitions the Attorney General (AG) for a review, HHS (through FDA) studies the issue and reports back. If HHS recommends against controlled the substance, then the AG shall not control it, i.e. it's "de-scheduled". Otherwise, it's pretty much up to the AG and DEA to decide how to act on the recommendations.

> educated population, business growth, tremendous financial gains for existing property owners. What exactly is he worried about? Traffic?

He's probably worried about skyrocketing rent, and overall increases in the cost of living in the area. It pushes middle class and working class people out.

The result is a Silicon Valley where firefighters and teachers and retail workers can't afford to live in the area.

In general, it's reasonable to consider what the optimal rate of office space growth is. If it's matched by a growth in the necessary infrastructure around it - housing, but also public transit, etc. - then it can be great. Unchecked office space growth by itself isn't necessarily good.

Having a good availability of food which is mediocre (and rapidly declining in terms of appeal, variety, and nutrition) is not a meaningful perk. It is the minimum viable offer when you force most of your employees to work in the middle of nowhere where there are ~no local food options, and spend too much time of their time commuting to justify spending time preparing their own.

In this respect I'd probably even prefer Apple where the food is not free (and the price has generally been increasing) but the quality has been much better maintained than at Google.

Being a general ledger, the Blockchain also can be used as a more professional way of proving you made a prediction at a certain time. Sure, as an individual, I can tweet where I think the P/E of Amazon will be in a year and refer back to it to prove my point, but is that the best way for a financial institution? Having an entry in the blockchain has a more business oriented feel to it.

Well, that gave really bad results in SMTP IMAP, POP3, and LDAP. Postgres just does not suffer much because the client always knows wether to upgrade the connection or not.

Ideally, we should be using DANE or some other kind of signed broadcasted info. Telling the user what happened is just a very good workaround (that will stay useful even if we change to DANE).
One radical proposal would be to pick a representative of the population (Read : Stratified Sampling) and allow them to vote.
I think you're considering only a single request, and not the larger context of how people interact with systems over time.

Imagine that today I visit https://example.com and I see a certificate from a CA that I trust. Everything is good: my browser shows a lock icon. Tomorrow (or a year from now), I visit again, and a malicious state actor intercepts the TCP session and returns a certificate that's self-signed or from a CA I don't trust. What should the user experience be?

It definitely shouldn't be exactly the same as the trusted cert from example.com! It shouldn't be trusted at all. The behavior where the untrusted certificate shows up as "bad" protects me from MITM -- the difference between trusted and untrusted is the protection. Even though self-signed certs are in some sense better than plaintext, treating them that way will compromise the security of path-validated certs: any degree of trust creates a risk that they'll be substituted for CA-signed certs and trick a user into continuing.

In a world where there are only plaintext and self-signed certs, I'd agree that self-signed are better and should be allowed. But in a world with path-validated certs, accepting and trusting self-signed certs has downsides. HSTS helps with this but isn't a complete solution.

Intelligible Machine Learning Models for Health Care (2015)
What an astonishingly stupid and self-indulgently ignorant response.

The premise - that talent in sport is rare, and talent in socially useful services is plentiful - is nonsense.

Why don't we have phenomenal super-teachers and super-firemen? Is it because they don't exist? Are there really no incredibly talented individuals who can not only super-teach but also teach others how to super-teach?

Or is it because there's no process to find and reward them?

If it's the latter - why does that process not exist?

The answer isn't "Because there's no social demand for it." Education isn't exactly outstanding in the US, and super-teachers would do a lot to help the country's economic prospects.

But that doesn't happen for a simple reason: there's no easy way to make a short-term profit from them.

Profitability of socially valuable services is diffuse and long-term, and spread over the economy as a whole instead of being owned by a few individuals.

"Talented" sports people and actors follow the opposite pattern. They're selected and valued because they can be farmed for quick profit. This happens to correlate - to some extent - with special talent.

But in fact the number of sports business and movie studios is strictly limited. So it's actually quite likely that for every super-talent, there's a non-trivial number of individuals with similar talents who are never found and selected - precisely because it's more profitable to artificially limit their number to create the illusion of product scarcity.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a profit-driven economy. But when the economy becomes driven by short-term profitability, because its predictive horizon is too narrow to model the future accurately, good things stop happening.
