A bit OT and I hate to be a pest... but can you guys please start offering laptops with more than 1080p displays? It's almost Kafka-esque that my phone has 77% more pixels than a $2,500 graphics workstation laptop.
This is one of those cool websites that when I open for the first time I usually say : "Oh that's awesome, I should bookmark it and use more often" and then after 1 hour It's totally forgotten until the next time I clean my bookmarks.

Anyway TV Shows episode calendar is really useful and I think it's a nice idea to have this information arranged in this way.

Ideally a government provided auth service would use two-factor authentication (e.g., Fido U2F), but if that isn't possible this will at least guarantee a strong password.

But… it's a bit user hostile.

If you must provide a list of pre-generated passwords, why not consider something that can be easily written down by the users who do not use a password manager?

Instead of:

CE3BE221-A021-4712-9293-AB2554C22282

Do something like:

Roses 14, mixed mushroom; 66/9 incidental choreographers?

It should be possible to reach a sufficient level of entropy without making the user feel he is a robot.
Brian Krebs is a hero. Are Akamai executives cowards for dumping him? I'd like to add that law enforcement are heroes.

And it's honorable he wants to meet Fly in person, recognizing him as a human being. I haven't read it yet but I'm assuming the reference to 12-step hints that Fly's having some post alcohol binge regrets.

I'm sure alcohol makes it easier to hurt other human beings, which is why violent people are often drunk. I'd be ashamed of myself if I woke up realizing that I'd spent my life actively trying to harm other human beings for money, feeling no remorse until Karma (here defined as law enforcement officials) finally caught up with me.

Somehow I've become accustomed to 'read' emoji as tilting your head to the left. Turning the emoji around always reminds me of German books, which often have the title upside down on the book spine compared to English / Dutch books.
If I had to guess, it's someone who's like "I wonder how big that AC unit is" because the idea tickled their imagination, googles it, then finds that it doesn't quite match with the scenario given.

I'm not sure that educating readers would be that difficult if you cater to a well-cultured audience, personally I like the approach of Smashing Magazine when you use an ad blocker:

Most ISPs have a clause in their Terms of Service stipulating that you won't use the service for criminal activity. I'm pretty sure a DDoS can be argued as a criminal activity. So, it is in the ISPs right to stop service to those nodes. --Yes, I understand the consumer isn't the criminal, more so they are the victim and the crime took place on their service.

Further, technologists tend to be pretty good at solving problems. I know this isn't the ISPs problem, but it is a flaw in the network, I'm simply wondering if anyone is attempting to solve this problem at the network level rather than simply building bigger caching services to protect those that pay for protection.

Well, the British won that war.
It seems much more that this is due to the rise of predatory publishers, where editors are willfully lax on standards, as the goal is not to make money but sucker scientists out of open-access publishing fees. Many prestigious journals just blind editors to authors anyway.

Yes, Twitter's backend is actually quite sophisticated.

It's one thing to build a very small Twitter clone for you and your friends, it's quite another to scale that up to hundreds of millions of users and keep everything running smoothly.
Apart from adding complexity to future funding rounds, companies don't like having many different owners of shares because there's an upper bound on number of distinct stockholders above which you're considered a "public" company and have a pile of additional obligations.

Why are the so hung up on video? Some people like videos some get impatient with them. Why won't Facebook just back off a bit on this? If someone tries to hard sell anything, it makes many people wary even if some others buy right away.
What are the problems you encounter?
To illustrate my point: If I implemented some network program which converses with a remote server in multiple steps in an language with exceptions and something fails I might get a stack trace and the message:

"Syntax error, expected token HTTP_METHOD but got 'B'"

In Go, with proper error handling I'd get a message like:

"Couldn't do flubber transfer: Unable to negotiate protocol: Sent supported protocols but remote responded with HTTP 400 "Bad Request": Missing required field 'version' in protocol definition"

As "error" is an interface, this message is only the tip of the iceberg: the error object itself may contain the address of the remote server, the protocol definitions that were sent, the response body that we got and any other relevant contextual payload.

This is all due to the error being treated in-context as opposed to just bubbling up.
My understanding is that the federal government cannot impose a property tax, without just distributing it to the states by population. My reading of the commerce clause is that they couldn't impose a sales tax on in-state commerce. So it's not like these went away after they gained the power to assess an income tax: they were never an option.

As a general rule, you could remove any government agency created with the increase in wartime tax revenue after the war is over. That should get you back to the pre-war tax rate.

I don't want to go down the entire list[1] of agencies, since it would take the thread too far off-topic(even this response is borderline). I should shift more work to the individual states. Also cut the military: They are so disorganized they're the only government branch that can't be audited[2].

I really like gnuplot as a nice, lightweight alternative to matplotlib. Plus, it has great emacs, org-mode, babel integration. gnuplotting is an impressive resource and I had no idea plots could get so sophisticated with different earth projections, for example.
That's a very odd statement to make. Most people like the reassurance/range-security of being able to visit a gas station in addition to having an electrical engine. That's supposed to be a selling point of the car over Tesla even though it's electrical range sucks and Tesla's extensive supercharger network all but removes range anxiety.
The newsletter thing is huge for me. I used to be really addicted to constantly checking the forums for new updates, but a weekly newsletter will sum all the important things I need to know. I try to dedicate a block of time to read it all in one go, rather than randomly clicking on links and reading them sporadically.

It's kind of like having a dedicated block of time to reply to all your emails vs. replying to them as they arrive in your inbox. I find that it reduces multitasking and increases focus.
It's the 2016 election. Things are a little different this year.
It is totally a decision for a private company to make. The operative word here being "private". Private individuals have freedom of association; they cannot generally be compelled to associate with people they don't want to.
Gotcha. Sorry about the tangent, as you were primarily discussing grokking what the names of things were doing anyway.
No. But it isn't the individual's fault either. And it IS the IRS' fault for taxing an illiquid asset as if it were liquid.

The only way that this sort of makes sense is if you can pay your tax in illiquid assets - e.g. If you can pay your tax with the same shares.

The most logical tax code I know can be summarized as: no basis step-up except on an event when taxes are paid; taxes are paid whenever (and only if) something liquid gets exchanged. Even an exchange of illiquid with illiquid doesn't trigger step up or tax event.

As long as it is illiquid, taxing gains seems about as logical is randomly announcing "everyone should mark their assets now and pay taxes on unrealized gains" (which the IRS actually does if your financial asset is outside the US, but it is still crazy)

As far as I can see, it's both of them, just with different in- and outgroups, and different styles - Clinton is establishment all the way, and Trump is apparently making the outsider bad-boy thing work pretty well for him thus far.

Wages are higher in technology compared to the sciences because productivity is higher due to greater automation. The sciences may see wage increases in the future as research tools become more automated. Whether the skill sets remain the same is not so sure; manual wet lab work will always be inefficient compared to a programmer controlling an array of robotic lab devices.
I recently left a startup that had 3 female first time founders.

They forced me on several occasions to pass by qualified candidates for unqualified ones in the name of "diversity".

They were constantly complaining about how they weren't taken seriously by other founders, but then proceeded to schedule interviews with forbes about "Mom's in tech" and "running a startup from their kitchen".

They unilaterally decided to remove all males from the platform (a child care service), because some customers had the impression that a male child care provider was more likely to molest their child.

At the end of the day I ended up leaving, and the rest of the tech team within about a month. They replaced us with the tech team from a recently folded competitor, which was led by another "mom". Last I heard they were floundering and are somewhat of a laughing stock in the LA startup community, and have a reputation with recruiters as a dead end.
Cropping is a "HUGE pain"? Are you kidding me?

2. Image -> Crop to selection.

I was impressed by that number too, but after reading your comment it seems awfully small. In 2016, what kind of attack do you expect CDN like Akamai to handle?
Both the phishing and malware attacks would be performed over CloudFlare's networks, while the DDoS attacks would not.

What happens over CloudFlare's networks in the case of DDoS providers would essentially be the agreement of a business contract.
>very unlikely to suddenly explode on you for no reason

It really depends on their condition. If you get some cells from a laptop and they've all fallen down to reading 1 volt, then yeah repeatedly charging them (especially at a high amperage) is going to be pretty dangerous.
Meanwhile, the USA actively encourages companies to offshore their money with their tax code:

That's weird. I'm not a regular user of GIMP at all, but cropping and scaling are pretty much the main things I do use it for, and it's pretty simple and easy. The crop tool is the one that looks like an Xacto knife blade, and the scaling tool is right there in one of the main menus.
the US is in a weird position where the federal government actually has very little power. But it has tax power. So they just use taxes as a way to manipulate things in the way they want.

But as far as I understand, the US tax system is also one of the 2-3 most complicated in the world... Being an permanent resident and not being used to this from my home country, Im making a lot of suboptimal financial decisions purely to avoid complicating my taxes... eg: I avoid consulting like plague, even when I have a worthwhile opportunity to do so.
Yup. And it's those people I feel bad for. I'm sure I would have been one of the tech people saying, "We must not give in! Let's use this as incentive to keep upping our game. That's the only way we'll win in the long haul."
It cant. One solution would be blackholing AS 456 from AS 789 at the requrest of its members. Hopefully this will teach 456 to stop misbehaving.

Though we do assume that AS wont itself misbehave and send a spoofed packet to one of its member peer and most of time its true.

We have to worry about misbehaving ISPs for which previously mentioned filtering works.

> Netadmins can make those kinds of statements about traffic originating from with their own networks because they set the rules. But at an interconnection the types of networks connecting, and the purpose of the connection might mean there is little meaningful anti-spoofing protection that can be done.

I dont think so. IXP can force peers to provide their IP Space even if its whole internet. At least they wont be able to spoof IP outside of their space. If they do spoof ddos from their own space the above solution would probably suffice.

EDIT: I just realized peer already has to give destination ip ranges. So IXP dont have to force anyone.
Not sure I understand the purpose of a MAC in this case. What benefit does it provide to hash storage? If the attacker has write access to your database to tamper with the hash, they will mostly likely also be able to sign up as a user, and clone that (properly signed + encrypted) hash over to whichever account they want to log into. When cracking the hash, they'll just ignore the MAC.

I'm not a Java developer, so I'm interested to know what the amazing parts of IntelliJ are. When I look at it it just looks like they ripped off the skin from Sublime Text and it has some debugging features that are readily available in other editors.

If that were true, then they wouldn't need laws forbidding manufacturers from selling directly.

Dealers love to tell us how useful they are, but then they turn around and lobby for their privileged position to be enshrined in law and enforced by the government. Does not compute.
So? Why should taxes be paid unless there are actual gains? What's the problem with waiting until gains are realized to tax them?

If there's still risk, taxes are paid, and the risk materializes and no gains are made at the end, how is that fair?
Sorry, the second link has better info on exactly why it won't work directly.
This is to stop people from gaming the system. For example: a company founder started offering stock options but only to their children. This would allow a parent to pass their company to their children avoiding estate taxes.
Probably one of their "disruptions" to the current market comes from not rolling an adjuster out to your home for as many claims as possible. Send a video of your covered loss and they can evaluate your claim from anywhere in the world.
I hear you. Compile time types can be useful, but again, I'm just weary of hearing from the people who want to make them mandatory, and seem unwilling to consider the tradeoffs.

The term production ready is an interesting one, I can understand the concern if you had to migrate your whole Angular app. No offence but your prone to miss something and its probably gonna be super painful to do a 0.18 type change. But in Elm since you have the compiler its a pretty mechanical process :).

I don't need to be a film maker to critique a film. OP makes no claims of his/her superior engineering skills, only provides typical concerns that people have.
I just want to take this opportunity to say that as a paying customer, this attitude towards your duty of keeping a site online, no matter who's it is, is exactly why we swear by CloudFlare and why almost no one else seems appealing in this field. I've watched your competition snuff out customers for being too controversial, while you guys just get it done. Thanks for this, it's really changed the shape of the internet in some ways.
>would then apply to people sitting at home pressing F5.

How would such a law be different from the current laws? If you sit at home pressing f5 with malicious intent and succeed at bringing a site down, you're committing a crime.
You would need a large L2 network to support it, or you'd have to route it at L3, which is not trivial.

Dangerous depending on the chemistry. There are plenty of very low volatility lithium ion cells out there.
All that needs to happen is for a court to define poor IT security as an "Attractive Nuisance", and just generally make companies liable for their customer's information (and more broadly if possible).
> Also, switching to this program would be a one-time double-tax on savings which will disproportionately affect those who've saved more; i.e. "progressive".

i.e. "putting retirees out on the street". Such a bill would need to provide a fix for that case, where someone has a fixed amount of savings intended to provide for themselves in retirement and cannot afford a sudden 10% increase in all prices.

For instance, one possible patch would be to look at people's lifetime income (already tracked by the Social Security Administration), and offer a one-time exemption up to a certain threshold, effectively calling the corresponding savings "already taxed" and providing an exemption. The challenge would be doing that without creating massive additional complexity in the tax code after that one-time event.

(This would only apply to people with post-tax retirement savings. The solution for pre-tax retirement savings is much simpler, since it won't get taxed at withdrawal anymore.)

> I'm still not positive about intergenerational wealth transfers

They wouldn't matter anymore, because they're all on the income side, and taxes would all be on the spending side. By taxing when the money gets spent, rather than when the money gets made, you no longer care where the money comes from.

You also no longer care about people who made their money in other jurisdictions, or many other issues. If you live in a country, you'll need to spend money in that country.

> I'm a big fan of a FairTax-esque approach since it simplifies things dramatically

Hopefully, but there's a pile of additional complexity involved in definition, to deal with suppliers and intermediate goods. There's a ridiculous amount of complexity in the definition of VAT; some of that is unnecessary bought-and-paid-for exemptions and adjustments on item types, but even after avoiding that, there's a pile of complexity involved in what "value added" means.
Ah bulletin boards :)

For years I have been searching for a copy of Blue Board (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Board_(software)), a popular BBS program in the Vancouver, BC, Canada area written by the late Martin Sikes http://www.penmachine.com/martinsikes/

I even talked with the owner of Sota Software, the publisher, but I never heard anything back.

If anyone has a copy, PLEASE let me know! I've been wanting to setup a memorial telnet Blue Board site for decades now.
More like, if you don't put locks on your doors, maybe no one should insure you and maybe the cops shouldn't waste their time when you couldn't be bothered to even take symbolic action to protect yourself.
Minor correction, it's free for 4 years.

As for what happens, nobody knows, because nobody's run out the four years yet. When they announced the four free years, they also said that the clock started for existing customers on January 1, 2014, so nobody will hit the end for another year and some.

I'd guess that it'll end up being a paid subscription after that, but nobody really knows yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla doesn't know yet. I wouldn't be too surprised if they just make it free for life, since it's pretty cheap to provide and so important to the car, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
What if it's the other way around -- not enough ambition?
That doesn't make sense to me. If it were a more accessible path, then you'd have more scientists (supply), the same demand and lower wages.
I said that they probably bought it with the assumption that it might never be profitable.
