Yes, improvements in search will help, but the costs won't go down that easily. In Google's case, the initial seeding of page rank was quite manual. And then think of the cost of upkeep - people are trying to game search engines continuously, Google has to update its algorithms on a consistent basis, content farms have profited enormously at various points of time and needed to be literally programmed against, and finally Google guards the actual search algorithm closely.

In the research domain, solving these problems would actually be even harder (in my view). How do you know if you found the best paper, or just the paper which is the best match for your keywords? At least Google has a feedback mechanism - someone stays a long time on a given webpage if it is very relevant to what they are looking for. This is not a good metric obviously, it might happen on a research paper simply because it is too obscure :-)
Only it's not a device, it's a cloud storage service ("forever" and "unlimited" - until further notice).

The device provides local encryption - and is unsinkab...uhm, I mean, "unhackable". No parallel with the RMS Titanic, noooosir. And I've seen a fair share of supposedly unhackable cruft: Schneier alert - "it's easy to make a system that its' creator is unable to crack," to paraphrase.
Problem with this is the feature that is used by some external actor once every 18 months. You'll pull the plug, and when 6 months go by, you'll think you're safe. Then when shit blows up, you'll have no context and spend 3 days tracking it back to the "pulled plug"
This is a very Eurocentric view of the new world. Asia had already settled in the Americas by South Pacific Islanders and the north by baring land bridge. And the northeast had Viking settlements.

Publisher-hosted open access is a scam.

Here in the UK we already have an open-access requirement for RCUK and EPSRC grants, but it can be met by uploading a preprint to an institution- or subject-specific repository (such as arXiv) and including a link to it in your report back to the grant sponsor.

Last time I published in a journal, I got a "special offer" of $1200 instead of $2000 to make it open access. I politely rejected the offer - it's already online for $0, just hosted by the university itself.

The problem with using diversity as a selection criteria bias means that statistically on average the diverse speakers will be worse. While attending such a conference, if one were to optimize for the quality of speakers a simple rule to achieve this at such conferences would be to avoid the diverse speakers and pick a different track.

I avoid 'diverse' speakers, not because I'm racist, sexist, transphobic etc but because I don't like having my time wasted.
It turns out 40K isn't much if you want a TLS stack that supports modern standards and keysizes, and interoperates with most servers out there [1]. Once you have 16K transmit and receive buffers (the default fragment length) and enough space to do the math needed for a 4096-bit RSA key, you're pretty much out of RAM.

And that's just the system library for a single TLS connection - the programmer will probably want to use some memory too :)

He didn't do anything, some "developer evangelist" doesn't like him, write a blog-post on medium and got him de-invited. He didn't do anything at all. These are the facts, now my opinion: Nothing happened but the Nodevember organizers feared being labelled sexist themselves so they caved to that "developer evangelist" pressures. It back fired. It is grotesque and shameful.
And after all this discussion I'd bet Apple already fixed this with the 6s by simply stiffening the actual case...
SSL/TLS is bloated but that's not a reason not to use it.

Rather it's a reason we need some TLSv2 that just removes the crap and focuses only on three encryption/authentication modes:

* Desktop: High throughput, lots of CPU, minimal latency
* IoT: small throughput, very little CPU, latency acceptable
* Mobile: small to medium throughput, some CPU, minimize latency

A lot of bloated protocols are still good, they're bloated because backwards compatibility and everyone and their kitchensink needs to be able to decode it.
Skinny jeans (comically, impractically skinny jeans even, IMO) are extremely common in California. Possibly even the norm, if there is a norm.
Your experience is an example of how capricious Apple's handling of the issue is. I walked in with a 14 month old phone in the exact same situation as yours, including the immediate identification of the problem by the Genius Bar rep, and I was told buy a new one. Period. No help, no willingness to help. Just buy a new one.

Generally speaking, there's nobody out there proactively enforcing antidiscrimination laws. The enforcement pathway is reactive. You get penalized for discrimination (in theory) when someone you've discriminated against brings legal action against you.

In this case, someone would have to sue them. For instance, an older developer who interviews, believes he or she is being discriminated against on the basis of age, and uses the advertisement as further evidence in the complaint.

European Economic Community → European Communities → European Union.

Maybe this timeline helps:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaties_of_the_European_Union...
The EU provides a lot of funding for science projects across the union, this funding comes from member states, who raise money through taxation.

So in effect you have EU citizens paying for research to be done, but have to double-dip on the papers or artefacts that come out as a result of the research.

This initiative is designed to make publicly funded research.....public, and not held behind a paywall provided by a private entity.
The original poster (also) knows that quote is false and he knew that when he posted. So you and he (already) agree on this.
Has this not been true for a long time though? Why haven't new upstart publishers thrown the larger ones out already?
That's incredibly stupid. The publishing of scientific papers has a cost, in terms of editorial service, proofreading, typesetting.

This cost will be paid by scientists, rather than by the readers. In other words, the papers will be free to read, but won't be free to publish.

I know as a fact that smaller research groups struggle to pay current publishing fees, and as a matter of fact the EU decision will increase them, making the situation worse.
Unless I'm mis-understanding it doesn't just wallop the owner of the site. It wallops all of that site's users as well. I know Google is less likely to be walloped but imagine a site similar to Google docs or gmail went down until the key expires. That's not just going to affect the site, it affects all of it's users.

Having ridden a fixie for some time, this is incorrect.

It's a lot of work to just "stop pedaling" - precisely as much work as it would take to accelerate from a stop to your current speed. If you're unaccustomed to it, the force can easily lift you off your seat.

If you do somehow manage to lock your pedals, you will not fly over the handlebars. Your rear wheel will skid, probably out of line, and you will slow ineffectively. You might end up under the bars, but not over.

It's much more effective to stop using the front brake, which is installed on any decent fixie for the reasons listed above. Not only does it require much less effort, it is more controllable and faster because your front wheel is more heavily loaded than your rear wheel.

So your churn of users acquired through Facebook ads was almost 100%? To confirm my understanding, thats why it was wasted? Why do you think they almost all left? I don't see a free pricing tier on your website now. Do you think the free pricing contributed heavily to your churn?
Yea, pretty much. You have to take into account that after those 6 months it will become very difficult/expensive for the company to get rid of you so they want to make sure you're 'worth it'.

Not "women are the problem" but still, who wants to deal with someone that might overhear a conversation and cause a shistorm because they don't agree with the conversation? That's the issue with these SJW types. They butt into things that don't concern them, get offended, and then expect the world to accommodate them.

Things like the Adria Richards story hurt "women in tech" not because "ew girls, gross!" but because it puts that fear into people's minds about someone overreacting and getting people fired because they can't act like an adult but want to be coddled like a toddler.

It wasn't a joke about the internet being promiscuous. Crock ford used the word "promiscuous" correctly and people (non-native speakers or uneducated perhap?) didn't know that the word has multiple meaning and took it the wrong way.

It would be almost like using the word "catholic" but having it misinterpreted as "Catholic" and then taking offense.

I can imagine extensions to CT that would make it better at combating real-time attacks before they can affect anyone.

For instance, suppose a new certificate didn't become valid for a certain amount of time after the publication of the corresponding CT log, to give the domain owner (or rather, automated processing working on their behalf) time to shoot it down somehow? You could choose how much of a delay you wanted, trading off between security and potential downtime (if you lose all access to your existing certificates, can't revoke them, and have to issue entirely new ones).

If you use any non-automated CA, you should know when renewing your certificates, so you could open up a window to renew; in the absence of that, a fully automated process could notice a new certificate for your domain and automatically shoot it down.

If you use an automated CA, you (or the automated process) should similarly know the window of time you will renew in, though in that case someone could learn that and take advantage of that window. On the other hand, given sufficient confidence in the automated CA you could use CAA with it.
In fairness, any bugs in a CSS framework are very unlikely to be especially significant from a business standpoint.

Users can still get their data; the owners need to stand up another hostname. They're inconvenienced. But the attack is devastating to companies, who depend on user convenience to attract and retain users.
Exactly, the biggest research driver is military spending. Procurement is a huge way in which these companies were funded, eg the DOD bought 90% of computers in the 50's and 60's before they became viable as consumer devices in the late 70's.

Look, there is a really sinister interpretation of Philip K. Dick which one could engage in, if one were so inclined.

I don't actually believe this, but it has occurred to me before. Here goes.

Phil (whose stories I love) claimed at one point that the FBI - or some outside agent - had broken into his apartment and detonated explosives in his filing cabinet. This could've very well been Dick himself.

Regarding his son, it was not a brain tumor, but a testicular hernia, or related, that his son had. Simply put, perhaps Dick was feeling up his son and decided to blame the finding on the light?

I believe what happened is that he likely found the hernia and then, in a fit of paranoia, decided to find another context for its discovery. You need to remember that Dick claimed to have seen a giant Teuton warrior in the clouds, looking down on him, as if a demiurge was making its presence known to him. This was likely a very paranoia-inducing event.

I am now reminded of the Anime Berserk.

Anyway, I do not believe that Dick was a child molester or false-flag operator against his own filing cabinet (although I am unsure about the cabinet one). We don't really know.

I think maybe he took a lot of amphetamines, and maybe he also had a mystical experience. Who knows? I have my own ideas but they may do more harm than good.

This is the problem. I saw a tweet from someone asking for a non-white, non-cis speaker, just to fill some SJW's idea for "inclusion" because tech is traditionally white straight males.

It's ridiculous. These things are becoming "fill some gender/race quota" and not "have knowledgeable speakers" because some random nobody will get offended and start a social media shitstorm about the fact there's no obese trans black woman speaker, so clearly the conference must be anti-gay, anti-black, transphobic and fatphobic cesspit.

I know you're being facetious, but it's much more difficult to evaluate risk/rewards ratio for drug use, and the motivation for engaging in it is less linked to this ratio than for other crimes.

Though I say that, and think back to Prohibition... which didn't involve the same addictive properties to which I'd attribute these properties of the War on Drugs, so I doubt myself.
I didn't down-vote you, because you ask a valid question.

However, free newspapers and travel sounds good to me.

If all/most resources were free it would then be just a matter of deciding which were worth spending your time on.

There doesn't really seem to be much negative, other than current business models fading away. However, I don't think most people would care much if all businesses did close and were replaced with a different economic model.

I believe parent's point was that GDP is significantly decoupled from experience of the vitality in a 'main street'perspective. In China they get high GDP growth rates, but if the productive activity was building high rises where no one lives, we may need to reevaluate our notion of 'productive'.
So when I've gone in for service at an Apple Store, they always take my Apple ID down. I always wondered if those who buy more get better service. For example, the person who has a purchase history of four or five iPhones, a few iPods, and pair of iPads, and a few Apple laptops might have a better chance of getting an out of warranty fix than someone who has only ever purchased one or two iPhones. It always seemed like this would make sense because Apple wouldn't want to alienate its diehards. Just a theory...

In the ten years Rosetta had been in space she flew around the Earth three times, Mars once and the asteroid belt twice, to gain the momentum she needed to reach her destination.

Not with touch typing directly, but years ago with ten-key and more recently a similar set of mental remappings to text editing using Emacs key combinations in lieu of CUI and the mouse.

My advice: don't force yourself. Just resolve to more frequently make a conscious effort to spend a bit of time touch typing. Maybe it's five minutes on a task requiring little flow. Maybe it's replying to email or typing into little boxes on the internet. Maybe it's working on a side project.

That way, productive work won't take a hit, there's calander scale time to develop alternative habits, and it's not an exercise in self-flagellation.

Finally, it's ok to use different techniques at different times, there's no rule requiring a single mode of keyboard interactions.

Good luck.
"..it's hard to pin down the exact reasons and price differences"

Generally it's down to VAT @ 20% and import duties, with some exchange rate padding.

Example:

Apple iPhone SE is £359 in the UK and $399 in the US.

As of 15:00 on 06/09, the $399 is ~£298. Add 20% VAT and you have ~£358.

EDIT: Exchange rates play a big part.
