Can we? Of course. Should we? I am not so sure.

There are two possible kinds of ideas you could be talking about. One is ideas which have truly been tried before and have been actively and soundly rejected by the vast majority of the public. Let's call these "discredited" ideas and use as an example slavery, (some kinds of) eugenics, or flat-earthism.

Then there are the ideas that you may feel have no good evidence behind them, but are still controversial in the public. Many economic ideas are in this category.

For truly discredited ideas, I think the best response is to ignore these people, as they are usually not thinking clearly and it doesn't help anything to spend more time on the issue. For the ideas which are still controversial, the logic I stated above still holds. The ideas themselves should be vigorously attacked using evidence, but not the people.

I think this principle goes far beyond academia. I just used it as an example of reductio ad absurdum: it seems obvious that we wouldn't want to penalize academics for doing their jobs, which is making up and testing new ideas that may be wrong. But the idea of tolerance for holders of diverse opinions -- and the reasoning for why it is important -- is a cornerstone of classical liberalism and played a key role in why the Founders set up the country in the way they did.

I wouldn't say "all projects". The statement is based on that they introduce and remove vulnerabilities at a certain rate. A project that introduces less vulnerabilities or finds them faster would be less likely to have privately known vulnerabilities at any given time.

I'm by no means an expert in this area, but looking at your reasoning, perhaps antidepressants are suitable for people who are depressed but not suicidal.

Every medicine has side effects. Every medicine has contraindications and is not suitable to a subset of the population which may want to use it. It looks like antidepressants are no different.

^^ This really opened my eyes to this problem for me.. It's really rather worrying, and I guess my generation (early 30s) were the last to avoid this so it's kind of invisible to us because of how awkward it is to talk about such things.

We need to do something, perhaps better education and getting more comfortable talking about sex and relationships with young people is a better approach than failed-from-the-outset restrictions...

Either way, the points in that video are imo, valid, and should worry everyone.

One reason most Swedes are laid back about cash is the Swedish banking laws, especially what is called 'insättningsgarantin', a deposit guarantee law.

The gist of that law is that in Sweden a bank is not allowed to close your account, or disallow you to open one except in very specific circumstances. Essentially you have to either use your bank account for something illegal, or lie to the bank. I've never once read about a case where a bank has closed the account of anyone, while it still probably happens, it's not something anyone is afraid of.
Hackathons wouldn't satisfy the OP's requirements for complexity, nor demographics - you'd be looking at a self-selecting group of highly motivated people, skewing young, who would come together hackathon style. There aren't going to be many thirty- or forty-something coders with young families spending a weekend (to work on the same set problems as everyone else) at the hackathon, yet there are plenty of those in industry.

That's what I thought, but couldn't confirm. Basically he's verifying a valid file and inferring it relates to a different file.

Even in natural language the semicolon is a weird construct: one can write perfectly well without it. The same cannot be said of the period for instance, or even the comma. And semicolon's cousin, the colon, serves a very specific purpose, which also makes it indispensable.
The thing is, if you want to prevent your children from accessing sites you'd prefer them not to without accompanying them in the future... there's been commercial solutions to that almost since the first porn site existed. Net Nanny's been around almost as long as I've been alive. Combine that with ensuring that your child's computer is in a public place, not their bedroom.

Frankly, if people are going to be exposed to said imagery at some point, they probably need to be educated about it. And not just about porn - about people with racist and bigoted views, about the news they'll read about someone committing a school shooting or a bombing.

There's no way we're ever going to convince people on the Internet to self-categorise and warn people about what they're going to come across. The only option is to supervise your child's use of the Internet (and other media, tbh) while you try to prepare them for what they're going to come across.

I saw a micro:bit keynote at a big conference somewhat recently. Overall I have to say I'm not all that impressed with the strategic decisions. There were some reasons for rolling their own but they could have partnered with existing alternatives (the keynote struck me as a tad bit too "nationalistic" for lack of a better word...basically "we must do it ourselves because...REMEMBER ACORN GLORY DAYS").

Now it seems Germany is also rolling their own...meh. At least the machines will get into the hands of kids eventually and the software is open source which I like a lot. But I mean why not just ship the micro:bit (or other existing alternatives)?

And I agree with the blog post...if you must roll your own you might as well go the complete open hardware route.

tl;dr: Too much not invented here going on with these projects.

Edit: There's a reasoning for not choosing the micro:bit provided on the calliope website: no speaker, rgb light or microphone + the arrangement is strange and students would short circuit it too often; for not chosing arduino/pi etc.: too complex/needs too much extra stuff and is thus impractical in school use
Hey thanks for reviewing. I agree with your pricing page observation. We will try to make it up there asap.

With no marketing budget, we are bootstrapping this startup. So want to save our money.I believe there are marketing options like LinkedIn & Twitter posting, blog writing, app listings where it cost zero or very little to get yourself marketed.

What i was interested in, what are the channels best suited for startups to focus in the initial phase?
As I understand it there are actually two Us government AWS clouds. GovCloud is for ITAR-regulated stuff that can still connect to the public internet (non-classified or confidential). The CIA stuff is hosted in a separate airgapped facility (called C2S) for the US Intelligence Community with connections to various airgapped networks. One can get their software listed in the marketplace for either or both, but to get listed in the latter you have to do a bunch of extra work.

Ha, the use-case reminds me of something I wrote a few months back.

A complete in-browser RSA encrypted message sharing for one-time use. Like transferring passwords via unsecure channels (aka Skype).

It generates a keypair in the browser (offline) and guides also unexperienced users through the process. Frankly, its a dirty hack, but it does the job haha.

There are two things to untangle here:

1) Yes, agree that "blocks" editors are not terribly useful. I brought an Arduino redbot for my daughters (10 and 8) and after a couple of failed attempts at scratch-like programming, they actually found the C code immediately easier. This is so unintuitive! Ideas?

2) that the micro:bit is worse than the arduino; I don't think block programming or sourcecode has any bearing on the choice of board. The micro:bit seems a bit more powerful than an arduino, but not actually powerful enough to impress me.

I really think that a much more powerful Raspberry-PI-style board but with decent robot handling would be infinitely better to getting kids hooked.

It was a year ago now but my own disappointment with the redbot: http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/136598180858/wher...
Not according to dictionary.com:

"Astro- a combining form with the meaning “pertaining to stars or celestial bodies, or to activities, as spaceflight, taking place outside the earth's atmosphere,” used in the formation of compound words:"

It sounds like the Greek(?) meaning has been lost now in English, which is fine since it's a different language. Astronomers still sometimes look at other planets afterall.

Or you just paste the code to the editor of choice, then past it back to the browser :P

How to get a data science job: A ridiculously specific guide
Good point. Though without perfect hindsight (or looking at any given time), it's certainly possible that there are entire categories of privately known vulnerabilities which are not even on the public radar. So it's quite possible that the rate at which known vulnerabilities are fixed might be very misleading. I guess they would offer a good base for the discussion nevertheless.

Ask HN: How are big players handling large number of live video broadcasts?
Periscope. According to an article from medium [1] Periscope had a peak of around half million daily broadcasts. This may mean that Periscope have handled many live broadcasts to tens of thousands of users simultaneously!

Here I can imagine some complex hybrid P2P and TURN server with regional load-balancing and limiting content exposed to users may do the trick for handling the traffic. But this will come with expensive cost.

So my question is, from point of view of a start-up which has a similar problem of scaling as traffic grows, how would you implement your handling of this traffic?

P.S I understand you may say start-up project with 10 live broadcasts would be a dream! So I will clarify, how do you gradually move so if the project is successful you can handle the traffic with minimized costs on bootstrap?

You almost certainly have CMV, and that definitely contributes to the progression towards dementias via chronic inflammation and other immune dysregulation. There are many papers on CMV and immune aging if you care to go digging.

Alzheimer's is as inflammation-driven as, say, heart disease. Which is to say that inflammation is a meaningful contributing factor along with all the other meaningful contributing factors. This is primarily these conditions are linked with obesity, because visceral fat is a major source of inflammation.

Proper advice/education is really the only solution.

We all know how ridiculous any attempts to censor the internet is to people with even a minimal amount of tech savvy, especially if gov.uk are involved... I mean, take the UK's attempt to block e.g thepiratebay.org which is defeated by simply putting https:// infront of it (at least, currently, on virgin media)..

The actual issue here though is the progression that some teenage kid goes through by initially looking to find some "HOTCHIX" to... solve an urge.. to 6 months later only getting off to really extreme stuff, being unable to really form relationships, the self destructive mentality porn addiction puts anyone in, and that we have an epidemic of erectile dysfunction in really young people as a result...

None of this is good.

Censorship will never be the solution, but I think we do need to do something; I have no idea what, though....
Respectfully, I don't think that something has to be done. While your definition of said problem is fair and reasonable, and I share some of your concerns for children going online, overall I don't agree.

I don't think the internet reflects more than the real world offers. It is challenging as a parent (and a school, employer, etc) to govern (!) or monitor how people use your internet access. Certainly much harder than preventing your kids from going to a particular physical place.

However, the freely available information that the internet allows humanity to share and access is changing the world. Some things will be better, some perhaps worse and at least more challenging, but I don't support curtailing the freedoms of many. Much damage can be done through things like the proposed ID system, and it will be just that kind of damage - systemic.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is - don't be afraid of the world. It's a wonderful and scary place, full of many terrible and beautiful things, and the internet is too. I guess I just don't like the idea of having to turn 18 then get a passport just to Google what's in another country :T

I have a subscription site that ships to multiple countries and I've been thinking about this too. Showing prices in local currencies would be good, especially since I can know where the customer is from geoip.

But the reason I haven't done it is that if I actually charge in USD, but quote the price converted to EUR, since it's a subscription it might change over time. So you might sign up at 26.38 EUR / month but maybe in the future end up paying more than 30 EUR / month if the currency fluctuates.

For two currencies I could just charge in the original currency and take the risk myself, but only for those my gateway would support. It would also might bookkeeping more complicated.

I guess even for one-time payments the price advertised might differ a bit from what actually gets charged, since currency rates fluctuate quickly. Might be off-putting to see the price quoted as 29.95 EUR but then actually get a charge of 30.02 EUR.
Today most RDBMSs have good query planners. Even recent versions of MySQL. In my experience you very often get improvements in performance by normalising (to BCNF). Most of the benefit comes from a) narrow tables reducing the physical size of the working set (hold more of it in memory) and b) narrow tables handle writes quicker (more rows per page) c) more opportunities for covering indices.

I saw porn accidentally at around 11 by visiting python.com (I was trying to python.org). I turned out fine, I'm not really sure what's the big danger. It's just sexualized naked humans. Big deal.

Maybe people are just uncomfortable that children might like porn.
That's a good question, actually. There's customer demand for having it open-source, and there seems to be a vague sense among management that open is good.

I think that most of the people involved don't see it as a chance to get outside contributions, and that's part of the issue. Thing is, I'd like us to avoid that becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
