The Enterprise edition features[1] are closed source, and these aren't strictly "enterprise-y" features like SAML authentication. It includes plenty of "basic" workflow features found on GitHub:

- Rebase merge requests before merge

- Use fast-forward merges when possible

- Create templates for issues and merge requests

- Display merge request status for builds on Jenkins CI

I'm pretty snobby about my music quality, but the muddy and boomy is "good enough" for me when I just want some background music while we eat or cook, which I can make happen with the power of my voice while holding the baby.

Mainly it is the fact that I can make it happen while holding the baby, I'm willing to forgive a lot of the sound issues.

Assuming you're using your ISP's resolver in the first place, they can see what you're looking up. If you're not, Verisign can when you look up a .com domain. How, precisely, does DNSCrypt change that?
Currently we support SNI for client connections, not for server connections. There is no reason for this, just that we have not needed server-side SNI ourselves yet. Adding server SNI support would be a small change. Please file a GitHub issue and we can look into adding support (or can help you with the patch!).

With a single instance of Tuleap you can have per project wildly different configurations. One project can have a scrum dashboard with GIT and pull requests, while another can be kanban and SVN with Jenkins CI, and a third could even be setup as Waterfall with CVS or other combinations.

Issue tracking, or anything tracking really, document versioning and templates to get you started really quickly. It’s proven scalable as it’s already used by companies with more than 17 000 users with a single instance of Tuleap.

The attrition rate for a PhD program isn't 90%, but 50% is not unknown; my own was around 30% (measured from matriculation to defense, my class year). Some students were forced out of the program, others left on their own accord.

Also, it is unusual for a dissertation to be outright rejected because of how it reflects on the advisor and committee: the committee is (supposed to be) kept up to date on the student's progress and will recommend against defending if the student is unlikely to pass. Slightly less unusual would be a student being allowed to defend, but then needing to do major revisions to their dissertation for it to be accepted. Keep in mind that at the point one is defending, quite a bit of time and money has been invested in the candidate so there is a good incentive to see the candidate succeed for no other reason. Unsuited students are (ideally) dismissed much earlier, i.e., at admission to candidacy.

One absolutely worries about being scooped on papers, since those are the currency of academia and being scooped usually results in needing to publish your own (now less novel) work in a lesser journal. And as another commenter points out: a professor taking on 10 students with only 1 succeeding, if one defines success as being tenured, isn't that far off from reality.

As an aside, I personally think forming a research group at a university isn't all that different from creating a startup.

Madison is interesting because it limits height to no higher than the Capitol dome, which isn't particularly high, but also allows a pretty high density by right in most neighborhoods. You could buy a property in Madison and put a three-flat dwelling on it with minimal red tape. If you tried that in SF you'd be dead before all the permitting went through.

Usually not a fan of "broken window" theories, but in this case I strongly am.

In American schools violence is often institutionalized. Teacher beat children, children get used to violence. The children are often not too reflected. People advocating violence as a tool for education are usually not big fans explanations and calls to reason. So children have no clue weather they are subject to education or sadism. Probably they are often at least partly subject to sadism.

And if they get used to the feeling that they are subject to the teachers sadism, it's no wonder that they see this as usual. Their educators and there for role models do, so why shouldn't they do?

Children probably do not think about what causes serious harm and what does not. Weather it was justified or not. Expically because it's only natural to assume that teachers punishment against oneself is usually not justified.

Tl;dr: if you beat children, to be surprised that said children beat other children.

People have had the problem of being beaten to publication by another researcher and having to re-start their PhD.

The big thing that both PhDs and startups have in common is that you have to do a lot of lonely work for years before you know whether you've succeeded.

People keep saying this, but you can actually see a log of everything that is sent to Amazon. And you can verify the log yourself by sniffing the traffic to Amazon. You can see that it most definitely does not send data unless the blue ring is lit.

Now, you may argue that it is recording all the time and then sending its recordings when you issue a command, but I'm willing to take the risk that Amazon is not willing to risk their entire reputation on helping the NSA like that.
Why not get rid of minimum wage? We'd open up opportunities for all sorts of new wage deals and payment structures. What's the point of having people on welfare who could be working as a servant or doing some sort of work? It would also disincentive automation when labor prices can be driven down and suddenly everyone becomes employable.
I think you are mischaracterizing both startups and academic work. A few things to think about:

-A Ph.D. usually often isn't the end point. If your end point is a tenured academic position, your odds are much, much worse than startup success

-About 50% of Ph.D. students don't complete, ever.

-"1 to succeed beyond anyone's dreams" seems odd. Most people who succeed in startups succeed precisely in scope of most peoples dreams. There are outliers, sure, but they are exactly that.

-You aren't scared of Google publishing before you - but in some areas you are justifiably scared of other people publishing before you and making your work unpublishable. You may know these people personally.

-Academic work is often best characterized as being unfair and stressful

-The 90%:10% statistic is just that, and you aren't really applying it meaningfully

-Like companies, Ph.D.s aren't fungible

At this point I buy everything with my American Express. The amount of extras they give you is just crazy. Between saving 6% on grocery, 3% on gas, extended warranties, credit on utility bills, and other random deals. It's basically a no-brainer.

They just today announced that it will work in the UK and Germany.
It's only kind of open source, and only partly. They call it open core, so saying open source outright is a bit misleading.

The review feature is very new in GL, and that plus all of the things you are mentioning within "everything in one spot" is available in this update (except maybe the coding env, not sure what that means anyway), if you've read the announcement. Github also has self hosting.
Greg Egan and Iain M Banks don't seem to have equals. Greg's stuff is incredibly hard (in both ways: he says to use a pencil and paper while reading). Iain's stuff is ... uplifting, but still coherent. It's not hard, but it still feels coherent somehow (unlike some books that just start making up weird shit just to put the "fi" in scifi).

This is true. It's more of a DNS MITM protection rather than privacy fix. There are other uses of DNS than just HTTP(S) traffic though: but I'm sure these mass surveillance entities sit on massive reverse DNS databases anyway, rendering the effort mostly useless.
It's also almost half the price.
The 2nd sentence was just a rhetorical point designed to nudge people into having some doubt about the statistic. I myself came to that conclusion long before appreciating its effect on the government budget, from watching the CPI and what I believed to be "true inflation" starting in the dreadful '70s (yep, I remember Nixon's wage and price controls), when I believe it was a lot more honest, say at least through a good part of the '80s.

Your subpoints aren't quite all the same, a good Upton Sinclair quote that's been bandied about lately "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!", so e.g. #2 doesn't apply, the public health system doesn't make much money at all on vaccinations, that's more of a True Believer thing. See e.g. Governor Gardasil.

And I tried real hard in the 1968-80 period, 2nd grade through first year of college, and of course beyond, to seek out the truth at all costs, having decided at the end of 1st grade that science was my calling. And I think I got somewhere, although of course what you cite is always a danger.
> Cities exist to make it easy for everyone in them to meet or work with anyone else as cheaply as possible

That is your rightful opinion, but it's not everyone's opinion. As someone who already lives in SF, I believe SF exists to stay nice and to not be overrun by more people/cars/traffic/pollution. In other words, the exact opposite of what you want it to be.

> The reason why failing a PhD thesis defense is rare is because your adviser should prevent you from defending until the product is sufficiently strong.

This. Failing a public defense is not like a startup failing, it's more like an IPO failing (as in, stock goes to zero within a short time). You don't do it if you aren't 99.9999% sure it won't fail.
The feature isn't a product differentiator.

The point of this being a mentally taxing exercise is an interesting and welcome one. Especially from someone that seems good at it.

I will try to keep "yes, this is hard" in my mind on future conversations. Especially with my family. The point is I want their points. Not that I want them to bend to my will.
I suppose I should, but in that case I think it's something of a redefinition of the word and less than useful. Especially since you have to, for example, factor in strength of party discipline methods. For example, expect a great discontinuity when the Senate started being selected by popular vote instead of by each state's legislature.

Yes and it's essentially impossible ($$$) to live with a short commute to where you work, even with one of the better transport systems.

Also, I think it's very unlikely that NYC would be where it is had they restricted buildings to 5-7 stories. As it is they don't have enough density.

A startup is a company that looks like it's rapidly going out of business. If you look at the financial press, they accuse Tesla of this situation quite frequently.
From a frenchman in YYC!

So, you're right, APU cannot deliver trust, but...

I just looked into it, I cannot find a definitive answer (without spending hours reading actual legislation, and I don't want to), I think the situation is that some manufacturer use the APU to provide all electrical power in case of single engine operation as a way to leave 100% of power for trust to the one engine that works in order to meet the ETOPS time/distance requirement. In those cases, there are extra regulations around the APU needing to be able to be started at all altitudes etc...

In order words, and again if I got that right, you don't need a special APU to be ETOPS, but you can, and if you do there are more constraints on the APU.
should you be on a list just for mentioning the anarchist cookbook? Personally I think being targeted for being curious what the anarchist cookbook is is a bit much - I think every other high schooler in my generation downloaded the thing for kicks - most of it is utter bullshit anyway.

> Failing at a startup sucks

This. I have a PhD and a failed startup. It felt real bad, and I didn't get that far with it (9 months before calling it quits). Creating a successful startup requires significantly more energy and stress than most science jobs, even for pre-tenure professors.

It requires different skills than science. Few introverts will succeed at founding a company, for example. Moreover, you have to produce actionable results quickly, and you have very different success metrics.

I'm one degree of separation from a PhD startup founder that literally killed himself as his startup imploded, when the company was 5(?) years old. Severe depression, loss of all semblance of a life... these are standard in the world of startup founders. The risk that you destroy your life is real.

Chicago has a variety of housing that is relatively affordable. From the US cities I have lived in (LA, SF, grew up in suburbs of Houston, spent ~2 months in Queens and a little time working in Manhattan), I found Chicago to be the most reasonable to live an affordable urban lifestyle in.

Chicago has the advantage of plenty of land as opposed to New York or SF.

There are massive sprawling suburbs, but I get the impression people move there when they have kids mostly due to better schools, not being priced out or leaving for safety.

Of course, Chicago has the most murders in the US (but still about half the murder rate per capita of New Orleans or Detroit), bitterly cold winters, and far from any mountains, but nowhere is perfect (where being affordable is part of being perfect).

Greater Boston has wide swathes of triple deckers, which are a 3-4 story (depending on basement status) compromise between the detached house and the 5-story apartment block. They were illegal to build for a period of ~90 years though, allegedly due to concerns over fire. It's curious they never consider the obvious solution to that (building out of masonry instead of timber) though.

It seems to me like the real solution to a lot of traffic and affordable housing problems is 'work-from-home' ideology. In the 1800s it was common for business owners to contract with homesteads to produce good for them, which is then picked up and sold in markets (i.e. shoes). These 'workers' were free to find work as they chose between seasons. Of course, a very different world now with scheduled mortgage payments and other needs, however there must be a tipping point. The 'sharing/contractor' economy seems to be an inevitable ideological revolution.
To be clear. I was not trying to say this is not something that should or could be done. Just that it wasn't as simple as it sounded. The "simple protocol" of listening for the correct beep is actually fairly complicated.
"The elites" are sure changed out a lot.

It's worthwhile thinking of advertising as a persuasion technology ( because that's what it is by definition ) and adjusting your expectations accordingly. A wise man once told me "If yer at a poker game and you don't know who the sucker is, you're it." Or, if you prefer, "Learn or be sold to."

Could Brooklyn exist in unchanged form without the other boroughs of the same city and the urban area it anchors?

As in, despite Brooklyn's relatively functional nature, its density gains are counterbalanced by the suburbs of NYC on the east, north, and west.

The grandparent post implied that it's possible to have an environment that doesn't include high-rises and excessive sprawl, and I believe Brooklyn's heavy integration in the NYC metropolitan area makes it so that it doesn't satisfy this constraint -- it just moves the 'problem parts' immediately outside of its borough limits, which is kind-of how we ended up with suburban sprawl in the first place.
I once (only once) live-typed notes from my Quantum Field Theory 2 class in LaTeX. It was on non-Abelian gauge theory IIRC. We had a German professor who was really fast too, and there's so many co(ntra)variant indices it's not even funny.
