Remember when ticketmaster and their ilk bought, ahem bot, tickets within seconds of release, and then sold it to you at inflated prices. all while marketing it as a service to humanity?

Well, nothing different in this business plan either. Automating price gouging and domain squatting might be commercially viable and legal, but it isn't the right thing to do!
CA root lists are generally maintained on an OS level (Oracle does maintain a separate root list for Java). Linux doesn't really have a central CA, so in practice, the root certificate list for all of Linux usually comes from Mozilla.

Mozilla's CA policy is the only major policy where almost all discussion is public (indeed, its policy requires a public commentary period), so its decision is the most visible by far. Given that the major list vendors already collaborate in the CAB forum, it's likely that MS and Apple will follow the Mozilla/Google lead here. The prior Diginotar and Comodo scenarios involved all the vendors operating in tandem.
I think it's better to cheer loudly when we see a monolith move an inch. Better to say you're going the right way than to say you have a mile minus an inch to go.
In regards to induction hobs, it seems most, if not all of them, have glass tops. Why aren't they made of something more sturdy like ceramic or stone?

I'm not sure you can refactor away the complexity of LuaJIT. It will always end up somewhere as a complete jit'ing compiler with no external dependencies just is inherently a complex beast. What might make sense it to have a more accessible documentation on how LuaJIT works. There are blog posts, mailing list posts and source code comments that probably give an almost complete picture, but there is not central place to find it all.
But it doesn't seem like 3 starred restaurants create "busy work" or documents, and yet, they highly value craftsmanship, quality, creativity.

What's the equivalent of that?
I was going to ask something similar and was surprised to find a thread. I have been trying to signup for an account and get a vps for 2 days now. Wow, what a horrible website.
I'd love to see some of the major CI systems (like Travis, Appveyor, and Gitlab CI) supporting "build and test every commit" rather than "build and test the final commit".

I imagine (some of) the transport companies will lower their prices, it's the McDonalds, Best Buy, Wallmart, and everybody else who has no reason to lower their prices, even though their costs have dropped.

And so long as the cost to get into the industry is high (the up-front cost of a driver is effectively 0, whereas AI will be non-0), and the incumbents have the ability to drop their prices lower than any new startup (thanks to the efficiencies of scale), serious new competition will be rare.

Even considering all that, the cost for shipping something is remarkably low to begin with. $400 for an 40' shipping container worth of goods over 300 miles? Drop the driver from the equation entirely, and that cost would only go down by about $100. As a point of reference, a 40' shipping container full of bananas is worth in excess of $58,000 (1000 boxes per container, 100 bananas per box, $0.58 per banana).

For as long as I have worked in products, I have heard customers request and praise round gauge displays in applications.

I think they are amongst the worst data display widgets you can possibly use. They have terrible visual SNR, since most of the visual representation is just borders, backgrounds and other visual gimmicks.
I'm not sure it has anything to do with the patient "deserving it" or not. Nobody wants to put effort into something when somebody else is actively working against it.
By nature, a personal (clearnet) domain is a single point of failure, because forever and always attackers know where the site is hosted. This is how DNS works unfortunately and it's very broken. No such problem exists with TOR hidden services, so krebs could have his own .ONION and it would prove very tricky to uncover the servers and boot them offline.

Another mitigation (and there are many DDOS mitigations I'm leaving out here) is duplicating the content at several different locations, which already have their DDOS mitigations in place. So if you really want to be heard, hit Google Plus, Blogger, Twitter, Pastebin, etc. Just copy and paste your message all over the Internet, and it can prove nearly impossible to censor. Bonus points for multiple 'backup TLDs' so you could have:

krebsonsecurity.org
krebsonsecurity.net
krebsonsecurity.io
krebsonsecurity.biz

You only use these in special circumstances like sharing a blogpost with your friend via email.

More bonus points for mirroring static posts with Varnish cache on multiple sub-domains like

Did you read the article?

Facebook replied on Saturday with an apology, saying the suspension had been "accidental".

That means it happened - Al Jazeera is one of the more reliable networks according to my journalist friends, and aren't usually known to publish something without fact checking or couching it in 'unconfirmed'.
But it seems like credits needed aren't proportional to emissions, but emissions growth.
They've already considered it and are including this in their proposal:

Most of the people that I know who have needed hip or knee surgery are thinner people. One’s occupation and/or recreation activities are far more likely to have an impact on whether you need knee surgery than one’s mass (one gentleman I know who had to have both knees replaced was at most 65 kilo and about 165cm—140lb and 5'5"—but had played tennis all his life and had a job which required using his knees often).

I know, anecdotes are not data, but there is essentially no data that supports the claims made about BMI, and there are known measurements that are more effective than this grossly ineffective ratio that is loved pretty much only by insurance underwriters.
You got me, I'm just ignoring your mountains of evidence.

Well shit. I always liked StarCom because of their approach to charge for verification (with increasing costs for each higher trust level) but not for issuing certs (while still manually checking every cert request, at least for any OV&EV cert in my case).
This entire WoSign acquisition is incredibly shady. Shortly after that some of the customer reps had chinese names, service quality declined and we got offered to become an "Intermediate CA" (StartPKI) for 10k$/yr.

What is the best alternative CA that also offers wildcard certificates (preferably with a similar business model)?
I wonder why. Seems like a huge oversight.
autism isn't adult-acquired though (literally by definition, DSM specifies that it must be present in childhood). So you'd need parent and child to share environmental factors during their respective infancies.
Yeah I think the key to this repair economy is cheap and easy to use 3D printers. They will allow us to make so many needed parts on demand as needed. Alternatively if 3D printing stores were more easily available and the 3D models for all sorts of plastic parts was easily available you could go to a 3D store and have the part printed.

In short I think we need to think a bit more about how to organize things than exclusively thinking about taxes.
You guys have so many amazing optimizations that I haven't captured yet. :-)

I personally love bragging about your Teddy algorithm everywhere I go! Thank you so much for opening up the Hyperscan project. It has been a huge boon!
Some aren't. Patients with severe hypertension, for instance, are often categorically denied non-critical surgeries as well.
Not sure what service your friend uses for gifting his electronics to African countries, but I believe most electronics are sent to Ghana then burned for various metals.

Interesting idea. Would you charge the same amount in poorer countries? Twitter's multicultural/multilingual user base is such a good thing.
I understand that Microsoft has to clean up a lot of legacy baggage around this ecosystem, and it does look like the way forward is much clearer and nicer, but man, was there any way this could've been done without another ".NET <foo>"? I'm still figuring out .NET Core/4.5/Framework and all the ASP naming zaniness... and I'm a .NET developer! I do trust Microsoft that this is really, truly the last time this will have to be done, but god it's a headache.
I have historically used .local despite its use with the Multicast DNS Standard. I have not encountered any technical issues with its use.

If my devices were on a network accessible from the outside world, I would have used my ghostfreeman.net domain and submasked all of those projects. However, these resources can't leave the network.
This would be true where the product is already built. The point I was trying to make is that if we lived in a world where "crippled" / "premium" products were not allowed, companies would face the High Price / Low Price choice in advance and would have to choose an option and make development / feature choices accordingly.
1. It's true that BMI doesn't provide a complete picture of a healthy fat percentage, but weight and waist measurements provide even less information, so I'm not sure why you would present that information as if it contributed to your point.

2. Caliper fat measurement is pretty accurate if done correctly, but it's also hard to do correctly.

3. In your own words, no doctor has ever looked at you and said you need to lose weight. This seems to indicate that while BMI isn't always an indicator of health, doctors are capable of identifying the exceptions.
agree, its possible if the google car had sped up it could have cleared the intersection.
Beg to differ - this might be the spin made popular by the valley's VCs and founders as a collective price gouging strategy, but it never flies in the public market. Ever wondered why the unicorns are hesitant to go IPO - they don't even buy their own spin on valuation, that's why.
If the scale exists in the market, there's no reason why she can't buy it.

If it doesn't exist, it can't be that doctor's fault.

Shifting the blame from oneself into the doctor doesn't do anyone any good.

It just wasted everyone's time and makes people less willing to tolerate your bullshit.
Nothing about Linux, probably because there is no Linux Consumer Market.
Looks like Microsoft's EEE strategy is alive and well.

This is nothing more than a clever ploy by Microsoft to regain control of C# from the community, becoming the gatekeeper of the new ".NET Standard" library... rather than opening up some of their coveted, proprietary codebase. (Winforms)

I'm not sure you understand what sympathy and empathy in this context are, or what the difference between them is.

Sympathy is effectively just compassion. False "sympathy" like pity isn't what I'm asking for. Sympathy isn't a bad thing; treating someone with sympathy but not also with respect is a bad thing.

Empathy is about putting yourself in somebody else's shoes. It's about asking yourself "how would I feel if I had to deal with the things this person deals with?" and then evaluating your answer against that person's behavior until you understand them. Empathy is not a "fad," empathy is a basic human societal construct and a fundamental psychological building block. It's decency. I don't know what bandwagon you refer to, but it's not one I'm aware of or what I'm discussing here.

So when I say "treat people with empathy and sympathy," what I am saying is "don't judge them too harshly for not being as capable in this area as you, and think about how it would feel for you if you yourself had to struggle with that incapability." To be frank, I think that that is part of the civility with which we should treat everyone. Admittedly, it's a difficult part and I'm not there 100% myself, but it's valuable.
I tried it on an earlier Chrome (37, well over the v26 they advertise)

Piracy was a huge problem on the Dreamcast. The bios devs accidentally left some code in from the developer consoles that would allow home consoles to run games from standard CD-Rs. Developers didn't want to invest in a system that had effectively no copy protection.
If you tried to access the public demo server with Google Chrome and got an error message, "Oops, looks like there's no route...", that should now be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone runs into further problems, please continue to email us at objsheets@mit.edu.
My comment was that there is "no single" train that takes you to the airport. Which is 100% accurate as it is two completely separate trains and two distinct payments and tickets with zero integration. The downvote is for what? Being correct?

And while you can take two trains to get JFK you can take no trains to LaGuardia. So yes a rush hour surcharge to take a taxi to the airport is insulting.

You don't need a separate rail system to take you around Kennedy airport like you do Dallas Fort Worth or Heathrow as its far more compact. A stop within the airport and people movers would have been sufficient. And this proposal of extending into the aiport was on the table at one point within the Port Authority.
AppLovin Is Snapped Up for $1.4B, Latest Acquisition by a Chinese Firm
I don't have time to look through this since my PDF reader isn't allowing me to search it, but how much of it is allocated to a manned Mars mission that does not use SLS? I have very low expectations for SLS, and I'd much rather see them support SpaceX's efforts. It does call explicitly for the continued use of SLS.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/09/21/senat...

I do agree strongly with the general sentiment that NASA's goals should not be changed every time we get a new administration, but SLS seems like such a pork barrel project.
I've been noticing that too. When I was trying to go to Github Universe the cab driver ended up taking a call from his kid's daycare, meanwhile driving me to the wrong pier, stopping at a power station and asking if this was the right place.

Also, every uber driver I had when visiting virginia would ask me how to get where I wanted to go. I would have to tell them that I have no idea, and then we'd get lost.

I guess I assume that these drivers would eventually get weeded out thanks to the rating system, but since the system isn't anonymous, I think most people rate 5 stars no matter what.
> rather than open up some of their coveted, proprietary codebase. (Winforms)

What makes you think that open sourcing WinForms would be any good? It's probably tied to Windows to the gills.

If anything, they should be doing something else, they should create or even better, support an existing UI toolkit and promote that as their cross platform UI.
I don't think we disagree.

In regards to the meat eating arguments:

1. There are no special chemicals or compounds (protein, iron, etc) in meat that can not be found elsewhere.

2. The protein myth is strong in the US, but it is hard to find almost any food that lacks it. Have you ever known someone who was protein deficient, anywhere? It is estimated that 6% of the US is veg and 40% of India is vegetarian. And these people are typically healthier then the rest, not deficient.

3. Speaking of India. You think vegetarian food cant be made to taste good, or is too bland? They have had it mastered for thousands of years. The point is not that Indian food is good, but that vegetarian food is not necessarily bad. Just because you had one bad veggie burger, does not mean there is not great veggie food out there that would appease most of the world.

4. And speaking of taste, taste is not a static condition. Yes, there are some things we have evolved to like, but your taste buds themselves are malleable - not fixed as most people will tell you if you go on a diet for a couple weeks.
If I understand the accord correctly, the difference is existing emissions are grandfathered in/exempt. The offsets are only required on emissions growth (new emissions above current levels). So a new entrant would have to pay the "tax" on all new flights while the legacy carriers only pay on the difference from present flights.
You think there are answers?

The search for meaning is a poorly formed question.

First of all they need to stabilize. There's still a lot of churn even for command line apps/server, let alone for making desktop apps.
really you do know the difference between a consumer product and carrier grade equipment. Apple abandoned the enterprise years ago and arguably anything larger than small boutique businesses.
About all this meta-discussion about gauges: What if an application requires constant real-time updates of a lot of little values? Say, a music sequencer? What if you have bars for things where the resolution matters, and then little gauges where you just need a rough ballpark estimate that doesn't take up a lot of screen space? Yes, you can make an accessible music sequencer, and good headphones and hearing are probably more useful than look at a spectrograph or level meters. But still.

What about games? There should be more accessible games. But there will always be inaccessible ones and that's fine, too. Let them have gauges, too, why not.

These gauges can be used irresponsibly, yeah. You know what that reminds me of? Every other web thing. Imagine every time any program or article relating to images on the web is published discussion of it devolved into how images without alt tags are bad, and that images should just be a bonus on top of an accessible description. I'm exaggerating, but to make a point.

I think these gauges look really neat, and while I can't think of a use for them for myself right now either, well, let's come up with some, or don't. Let's look at the code and iterate on it if we want and post our findings. But all this "oh, thing X! all the best practices related to X, let me tell you them" should be a thing on the side, not the predictable main event.
presumably github will only let you rebase-merge if there are no conflicts. In my experience though rebase tends to have more conflicts requiring manual intervention vs merge, but that feels safer to me than merge occasionally automatically resolving the conflict incorrectly.

Github also has protection to prevent branches from being forced, if you are only forcing a feature branch with no collaborators, or at the end of collaboration, it's not so bad, especially when git tells you the old hash you just overwrote and you have the reflog, but again github's rebase-then-merge should make that a non issue.
> Calories-in vs. Calories-out is not helpful advice. A person's metabolism can slow to a crawl if the person is starving.

To be at that level of starvation would require the person's body fat percentage to drop to essential levels. "Starvation mode" in normal weight and overweight people is a pernicious myth.

Then ask the doctor to help you lose weight, instead of complaining that the doctor shouldn't advice you to lose weight.

If a cure for bipolar disorder exist but a bipolar patient refused to take it because it hurts their self image, what do you presume the doctor should do?
If I understand you to mean I would be able to deploy to all types of devices with browsers or webkit, you're right.

There are more Android OS devices shipping and out there than all of the other OSs combined. By focusing on just Android, I can be assured it will look and perform more uniformly than the web app route. Even ART has closed the gap with NDK on some HPC or numerical use cases vs. the older Dalvik.

I don't like Java compared to other languages, even JavaScript ;) But it's not too bad, and Android documentation is great as well as the number of answers you can find on SE for any given question.
Fractals and 3D are an interesting problem: http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html

That page is older, but based on the performance at the time I'm still not sure you could render them in sufficient real-time to make VR a useful thing.

(I leap to the assumption you're referring to 3D fractals because merely adding VR to a 2D fractal viewer does not seem like a useful thing to do.)
I don't agree with the idea that giving companies better and better tools to achieve price discrimination is the win-win that the final quote seems to make it out to be. Yes, I can see how it could allow a company to offer goods to people who otherwise would not be able to access their services, but this comes at the cost of potentially complicated usage restrictions, making it easier for incumbents to squash new competitors, and pushing for more and more of a legal framework to support this kind of business model at the expense of the end user. I can think of examples where the products are barely (if at all) worse and see how heavily it swings things in favour of the powerful incumbent:

Trademark restrictions to prevent importing what could be effectively the same textbook or wrist watch.

DVD region locking where you can sell practically an identical product but charge vastly different rates in different areas, and it's illegal to work around.

License agreements on software not to restrict specific functionality, but rather the usage scenarios.

The example in the article of the slower LaserPrinter example morphs from being a physical restriction to modern printer cartridges that block ink refills via DRM.

Comcast's battle with Google Fibre where the price will heavily drop in just the areas where Google Fibre operates. Makes it much harder for Google Fibre to make any gains, but the vast majority of Comcast customers see no decrease in their bills.

Even the recent EpiPen drama, where they want to be able to milk as much as possible out of the pockets of insurance companies, but end users don't want to play the real price, so they introduce the co-pay discount to try and offset that cost. It makes the "rich" organisation pay, but reduces the amount paid by an individual.
