Sure. A lot of people were against it after it started, especially when it began to go south. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about statements like this:

"[H]ad I been in Congress at the time of the invasion, I would have cast a vote in opposition." — Donald Trump at an education event on 8-Sep-2016[0]

Considering that the vote was on 11-Oct-2002, and we have audio of Trump expressing hesitant, wishy-washy support for the war on 11-Sep-2002, that is almost certainly not true.

1) Your data is in the cloud, you do have do worry about controlling it yourself.

2) There is no perpetual license to worry about, only pay as long as you need your data.

3) Access allowed business people to muddle through creating database that IT hated to have to maintain... this is obviously different.

Doing a quick comparison between our Haswell servers and Skylake servers we do see a nice little speed bump of ~10-20% on matrix heavy code. The bump is negligible for most other things.

It's sort of an incredible exchange. Seems worth seeing on its own.
Oh there's no doubt people stayed home because of both candidates, but it's my theory many democrats stayed home because of Hillary.

Agreed. Democrats need to choose young, dashing, charismatic, unimpeachable candidates at every level. This is how dems get excited and actually vote.

Conservatives vote based on policy.
Liberals vote based on the person. This is their (our) failure.
I think the tech industry and HN crowd are waking up too late, and this might be because of the previous HN cultural wave. Initially HN was like the slashdot crows, in that it was geeky and making money of being entrepreneurial was an ideal, and not a way of life.

Eventually that changed as the culture shifted to enabling and succeeding in startups. A lot of the meta culture and crowd is now many steps away from the old hacker roots and far closer to the entrepreneur /wanterpreneur group.

This latter group really isn't in it to get into a political battle, and it makes no sense to get involved in a waste of time. As a result achieving critical mass, or uniting people under political oriented architectures won't happen soon enough.

Maybe it's time to head back to /. ?
When I played DAoC at a crazy level, I left just by quitting one day (it ruined a great long term relationship which prompted me to quit). I gave my account to someone and that was it. I had weird feelings about what to do at home for awhile, so I started power lifting. Then I went back to grad school. My problem is that I don't do idle well at all, so I need productive things to do.
Why is Cloudflare underplaying this issue? All data that transited through Cloudflare from 2016-09-22 to 2017-02-18 should be considered compromised and companies should act accordingly.

I've had a fairly high opinion of CF, apart from their Tor handling and bad defaults (Trump's website requires a captcha to view static content.) Yeah I'm uncomfortable with them having so much power, but they seemed like a decent company.

But their response here is embarassingly bad. They're blaming Google? And totally downplaying the issue. I really didn't expect this from them. Zero self awareness- or they believe they can just pretend it's not real and it'll go away.

Have you tried a "real" email app (i.e., one that's not just a wrapper)? I've used K9 (Android) + FastMail for many years and it's been great. K9 has tons of features, including letting you choose font size (with some granularity - e.g. you can have different sizes for from/subject/body, folder/message view, etc.).

I work around the outside of the DoD world myself and I wish you the best of luck. The office of no in the DoD is extra strict and their (government) actual security is awful. Without getting into the details some of the stuff I have seen employees do is shocking. Another hoop you have to jump through is that it is such a pain to get hired by the DoD or IC and a lot of the better security people have a culture which clashes with IA and OPM to say the least so even if someone wants to get hired by them there is a good chance they will get rejected off of a culture fit or they smoked pot once in college half a decade ago.
Good point. People do not want to do things with their hands. That's not just games though. I would imaging many people on this site make their money just typing at a computer all day. We build abstract concepts instead of physical things.

Because I deal with abstract complexity all week, I build stuff around the house and do home improvements whenever I get a chance. It's great and rewarding feeling when building something and seeing it done.
Well, the CEO does have beef with Google:

This led to Cloudflare refusing to implement support for Google Authenticator for 4 years.
There are many advantages in training animals to perform tasks rather than building machines to do them.
Animals are far more intelligent than current machines, more robust, well adapted to our environment, don't polute, require few/zero raw materials (with the associated environmental costs), have low/zero production costs, etc.

I would much prefer to live in an environment of plants and animals than one of concrete and metal.

The bottleneck is in the training, and this is where technology could play a part. Robotics and machine learning algorithms could be employed to improve the training process (for example see here: http://thecrowbox.com/).
Well, I've given examples above of what I mean, so I think that one could extrapolate that to other examples...

But to put it in more concrete terms:

Is there a shell + terminal that permits the user to interact with shell output - in specific circumstances - whereby "interact" I mean:

* the ability to view additional properties (which are hidden by default) of objects represented in the output

* the ability to make a user-selected object the primary focus of investigation

* the ability to easily (think - right click, or keyboard commands to accomplish the same) expose verbs that can be activated on those objects, and additionally to choose one?
I briefly touched base with Cloudflare's Product Management and my impression was that they were overconfident and snobbish in every aspect, which is kind of opposite to what I'd expect from the company like this. Being humble never hurts.
Semi-related question: if anyone knows of something similar for physics or chemistry (for a bit older kids) would appreciate it!
I feel exactly the opposite. A few years at established companies will prepare you for determining if your startup is doing something idiotic or not.
Information availability has improved markedly. I make use of online sources, especially archives of previously published works (some legally provided, some not: Project Gutenberg, Hathi Trust, Internet Archive, LibGen, Sci-Hub, ...) constantly. The ability, seconds after having read of some reference, to be looking at scans or PDFs of an original work from the 16th - 20th centuries, is profound.

That said: I'm finding online search itself less useful, and far less reliable, shy of specific filters. There's simply too much crap online. Which leads to the observation: the way to hoax or scam someone, or simply to create ambiguity over the truth, is to pre-seed the search results. There's a phenomenally good case of this in today's Wall Street Journal, concerning a businessman who'd invoked the ire of another who spent years attempting to tarnish the former's reputation.

Which is to say -- there's something of a shift back in the scammers' favour as well. Where the ultimate balance lies I'm not entirely sure.
I did use both, they had a weird bug where if you used both, it would show you the "via", and only hide it if you didn't use both. I wrote this up when I discovered it, as it's very counter-intuitive:

You're trying to put his statement into a different context now. I thought we were talking about him saying that he was totally against the war in Iraq, which he was. So we agree that wasn't a lie.

> "[H]ad I been in Congress at the time of the invasion, I would have cast a vote in opposition." — Donald Trump at an education event on September 8th, 2016[0]

You can't disprove a hypothetical situation that never happened to call him a liar. Who knows what he would have done if he had been in congress instead of a businessman. It's clear though he was questioning it publicly as early as 2003 in the Cavuto interview, which was before the war started, and came out totally against it publicly in 2004 less than a year after it started. Who knows what he was saying privately before that. You don't know. This isn't grounds to call him a liar.

What amazes me in Fastmail is how fast their web UI both on desktop and mobile. Especially compared to Gmail but it's also more responsive than Slack or Trello.
Large buffers just get unmmaped so the OS can fix that problem.
I remembered why I couldn't move away: I have other family members on that Google Apps domain. However, I just moved my personal domain there, and holy shit is everything faster. Google would just keep Thunderbird spinning and spinning and not sync deletions to my phone and vice-versa (I use K9), but Fastmail is just lightning fast.

The browser notification, their UI, their mobile app, Thunderbird and K9, everything is just super fast. Totally worth whatever price, I'm going to pre-sign-up for three years right now. Thank you!
I just switched, and it's much, much faster:

Millions of domains are on Cloudflare. We can't tell how many of them were affected.

Either we can search for obvious strings like X-Uber-* and try to scrub them one by one, or we can just nuke the caches for all the domains that turned on the problematic features (Scrape Shield, etc.) anytime between last September and last weekend. Cloudflare should supply the full list to all the known search engines including the Internet Archive. Anything less than that is gross negligence.

If Cloudflare doesn't want to (or cannot) supply the full list of affected domains, an alternative would be to nuke the caches for all the domains that resolved to a Cloudflare IP [1] anytime between last September and last weekend. I'm pretty sure that Google and Bing can compile this information from their records. They might also be able to tell, even without Cloudflare's cooperation, which of those websites used the problematic features.

I think one of the main causal mechanisms is that corporate cultures do not associate internal tooling with revenue, directly. It is seen as a small cog in a large engine that just has to work. It isn't seen as something that would directly impact customers or drive ROI. So.. they end up being neglected and extremely terrible.
Very cool!

>Net neutrality is about charging for things that cost nothing to the ISP, but are worth more to the consumer.

That's certainly not what it's about. Business charge people all of the time based on what they think the customer will pay, regardless of what it costs them (see most "limited edition" versions of games, DVDs, etc).

The reason net neutrality is important is because many ISPs are effectively monopolies so there is no competition to keep them in check.
Not to mention corporate privacy/IP.
Can anyone provide some context please ?
Uber says it’s not behind the calls to investigate Susan Fowler’s personal life
The fact that I can seemingly load and scroll to the end of a 5,000 email list with no discernable loading, is pretty stunning. It's not like an endless scrolling app where it has to load the next x items or anything, you can scroll pretty much instantly to the bottom.
Ya revenue and ROI are typically the drivers that determine how budget and resources are allocated. If something is not seen as necessarily critical or customer-facing, then it can just be kept behind the scenes.

Then.. of course.. you face the issue of turnover and attrition. People leave and rarely do things transition smoothly from employee generation to generation.
Just to throw an alternative view to the "FBA is a Scam" threads.

I had a similar thought when I first heard about it, but then decided that I should give it a try as I am always dismissing things out of hands for believing that they are scams.

One year later I've quit my job (full stack developer), and sell full-time on Amazon and have never been happier. My current listings generate the majority of my income and require just a few hours a month to maintain.

For the rest of my time I do whatever I want.

It's not that things are inherently scammy, or unscammy. It's just things are or aren't easy based on your ability/work ethic, and the competition is or isn't steep based on how uninspired you are when competing.

The whole "cheap chinese knockoffs" thing is dismissive and frequently inaccurate. The great majority of things that people purchase from Walmart/Amazon/Target are manufactured in China, full stop. Some of it is cheap, yes, but no more or less than the ones by the "name brand" private labelers.
From the parent thread:

The caches other than Google were quick to clear and we've not been able to find active data on them any longer.
...
I agree it's troubling that Google is taking so long.

That's really the core issue here - the Cloudflare CEO singled out Google as almost being complicit in making their problem worse whilst that exact issue is prevalent amongst other indexes too.

The leaked information is hard to pinpoint in general, let alone amongst indexes containing billions of pages.

I can understand the frustration - this is a major issue for Cloudflare and it's in everyone's best interests for the cached data to disappear - but it's not easy, and they shouldn't say as such (or incorrectly claim that "The leaked memory has been purged with the help of the search engines" on their blog post).

This is a burden that Cloudflare has placed on the internet community.
Each of those indexes - Google, Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, DDG, Baidu, Yandex, ... - have to fix a complicated problem not of their creation.
They don't really have a choice either given that the leak contains personally identifiable information - it really is a special sort of hell they've unleashed.

Having previously been part of Common Crawl and knowing many people at Internet Archive, I'm personally slighted. I'm sure it's hellish for the commercial indexes above to properly handle this let alone for non-profits with limited resources.

Flushing everything from a domain isn't a solution - that'd mean deleting history. For Common Crawl or Internet Archive, that's directly against their fundamental purpose.
Well, some fruits are sort of named after colors. "blueberry", "blackberry", "Red Delicious", etc. But point taken.
I want to echo this.

Leading raids in WoW was a great experience for me. Getting "server-first" took not only ability to play the game, but the ability to recruit and manage talent, practice clear and confident communication, and give constrictive criticism and praise (which is very important when you can't pay people).

Getting good at a video game is a form of learning, it's entertaining but challenging to master all the ins and outs (every patch, no less) in order to stay elite. Few other things give you the sort of near-instant reward for your efforts that video games offer. The ability to flaunt your talents in front of others, in a situation where it's socially acceptable to do so... it's a nice outlet for some drives that you just can't do in the work place.

That said... I generally can't play games "for fun" like some people can. When I play a game that doesn't have a level of competition to it... I get so bored. And when I play a game with competition and I don't have time to be good at it... I also get bored. Suffice to say I haven't been able to really enjoy a video game in years.

(XCOM is maybe the exception. It's good "mindless" fun, and I feel like I have to work hard for every kill. I'm about 1/2 way through the new Long War DLC... I can't place why I like it so much, sure the nostalgia from the original in the 90s, and the challenge, but for the last few weeks I do a mission or two a night and it's amazingly fun. Playing the game my hands get all sweaty, pulse elevated... the terror and frustration of watching one of my favorite troops get blown away because I moved him 1 square too far... They did such a great job with this game.)
My challenge is that I don't get spam very often to begin with. It will be several more months until my personal filter kicks on.

And this seems like a big downside initially, until you realize this means FastMail isn't aggregating data about your mail for other users' benefit. FastMail only sends spam samples that you confirm are spam, by both marking as spam, and then permanently deleting.
Everything is text.

No. In PowerShell, console output is 'typically'[1] of a well-known type.

It is therefore entirely possible for a shell + terminal to be aware of the operations available on its output.

[1] For some definition of "typically"... PowerShell permits arbitrary manipulations of output, so obviously there are circumstances where this is impossible.
Sure you can, but it's not the default behavior, and you often don't want to cache HTML.
It does look crazy fast. I'd love to try it, but not worth the cost for personal use.
A closely held company with a multibillion dollar valuation underplays a serious threat to their business... Hard to believe!
The biggest thing is customer support. You can have an issue or even just a question, file a ticket, and a FastMail employee will respond within a matter of hours.
The soils vary quite significantly between the two projects with the soils up at Northlink being much more amenable to tunneling than those that plagued the SR 99 job at the start (and might at the finish).

> We did, however, find the average maternal age per country (N = 7) to negatively correlate to the level of IQ decline (r = −0.88). Despite the small sample size, the correlation reached significance (p < 0.01). Nevertheless, as the correlation was negative this seems to indicate that among the countries showing a negative Flynn Effect, the ones with the highest average maternal age show smaller declines in IQ.

Anyone else see the problem here? They are comparing the change in a variable over time with the value of another variable at a fixed point in time. That means they haven't canceled out the time variable, resulting in a confound with the change in maternal age. Would it be possible to get their result--a negative correlation between greater maternal age at the end of a time period and a drop in IQ over the whole time period--if, in fact, the correlation between maternal age and lower IQ is positive? Yes.

One way this could happen is if the relationship between maternal age and lower IQ is linear but the rate of change in maternal age over time is nonlinear and decreasing. The latter is quite plausible because fertility already decreases with age in a nonlinear fashion. It's easier for a country's average maternal age to go from 25 to 35 than from 35 to 45 without even taking societal factors into account.

The authors admit that their finding is contrary to other research they reviewed which found maternal age to be positively associated with lower IQs. My guess is that the discrepancy is because of the authors' flawed model.
