It depends. Here are the questions that came to my mind in under 30 seconds:

* For how long must it be secure?

* Against whom must it be secured?

* What are your potential losses if it's broken?

* How can you be sure you've used a secure implementation?

* What do you think the "strongest available crypto" currently is?

* Can you be sure that the key will never be compromised?

* Where will you store the key?

* Do you need to send the key to someone else?

* Where will the encryption happen?

Nothing makes teenagers want to do something so badly as being told they can't.

Not only teenagers. I was 7 or 8 (~1990) when my dad told me not to use our home PC without his supervision and under no circumstances should I start Norton Commander. The next day when he was at work, I booted the PC, started Norton Commander (I observed that he typed 'nc'), and tried every possible function that I could find ;).
Wow, I forgot that even existed. Here I was thinking of every switch, firewall, and routing product they've done except this line. I guess it doesn't help that I've never had a reason to touch one as every carrier grade router I've used has been Juniper. I wonder why they went with a whole new platform based on QNX when you don't benefit from a realtime OS if all the packets are moved in hardware? Must be something about the pain of upgrades and reloads on other Cisco product lines and somehow QNX can minimize these outage windows.

I've still yet to meet someone who actually prefers Cisco over Juniper MX. I wonder who is buying these?

I think that at 41k per kilo one tonne of gold is worth $41m.

1300 tonnes of gold is therefore worth a bit more than $51bn, which is a lot, but approximately 1 year of the UK's defence budget, so in the scale of things not really all that much.

Now, this would mean that (given that Germany is a big economy) there would be what... 20 times that amount of gold available to back a gold currency - so about $1trn. I think that the world economy is about $80trn which leaves a big problem with the assertion that a gold backed currency could challenge the $.
Yeah, I can't find the article now but there's always a group of consumers out there that have a strong affinity for products that have failed in the market. Anything from soft drinks to candy to fast food to electronics devices - they're among the greater predictors of a product failure than any focus group could offer. I'm someone that was all about alternatives to MP3 such as Ogg Vorbis and VQF and ripped nearly 300 CDs to them before giving up and just going with... FLAC, which at least lets me pick and choose whatever I want in the future.
Former US Navy Seal describes the moment he 'shot dead Osama bin Laden'
12 reasons WP died.

Ms-Nokia actively sabotaged/tripped WP on every step.

1. Charging $100 yearly developer fee was crazy. ESP since they were the incumbent and Google was charging a one-time fee of $49 if memory serves me.

2. MS decision not to allow sideloading of apps basically killed their chances outside US, UK, Germany... - places without cheap broadband.

Even IOS allowed for apps to be downloaded on a computer.

Many of my potential WP converts ran to Android for this very reason.

AFAIK, MS has issues increasing Store usage on Win10 in my country because store apps installation files can't be stored offline.

3. API limitations - if the initial developer fee put a nail on the coffin. This was the hammer that drove it home. A lot of developers simply quit and focused on android. The few who persisted habitually wrote messages like, "...feature cannot be done due to a limitation in the OS"

4. Speed - if Bill was in charge, WP would be hale & hearty right now. Ballmer and his people took their sweet time before adding new features - as if they were competing with resourceless startups or stagnant giants. Thousands of feature requests flooded Nokia forum, the ln user voice - only for a handful to be added a year and six months later. E.g. Notification area, file manager, folders, led notification, wifi direct

5. Apple worship - IMO WP was Microsoft's first attempt to out-Apple Apple on design. Win8 was the second and Surface was the third.

They forgot to notice that Apple never copied blindly - copying the spirit of a design or feature - Apple STOLE.

Since WP, win8..10 all that matters to Ms is looks and pays lip service usability & productivity.

6. Nokia released too many phones with nonsensical, confusing naming. They released flagships with 2 year old processors. And randomly removed features available in low range phones from high/mid range phones and vice versa.

7. Nokia att exclusives killed more sales than they would ever know.

8. Ms/Nokia focused too much on the US market. In fact, Ms behaves as if only US market exists. Cortana spent more than a year as a US exclusive.

Till today, some Bing features are US only.

9. Marketing - MS simply didn't market the OS. Nokia - a hardware partner did 100x more marketing than ever MS.

10. Selling the OS - selling the OS free for the first 2 years would have bought them many partners esp since Android was free.

11. Platform reboot - wp7, wp8, Wp8.1, wp10. Every reboot inflicted a deep wound on fans, OEMs and the OS.

This reboot issue plagues Skype as well. I remember at least 4 reboots of skype on WP.

12. Nadella - he buried WP.

There are Windows Laptops with good 10+ hour battery life (e.g. Thinkpads). But they aren't a "little more" they're $1K+. Chromebooks are around $250-400.

(I am not a physician and this is not medical advice.)

Recommended maximum intake of sugars per day: 37.5g (men) / 25g (women)

Avg. sugars per banana: 14g
Avg. sugars per orange: 9g

4 x 9g + (1 or 2) x 14g = 50-64g actual sugar intake per day from the fruits listed.

That being said, each person's metabolism behaves differently so there's no specific action that you necessarily need to take. You may wish to ask your physician do the appropriate blood tests to check for pre-diabetes at every annual physical.

Apps whose user interface is fully JS-driven are sometimes called Single Page Applications, and are in my opinion the future.

Can't wait for this trend to be over. In many cases it results in slower performance and it certainly makes rendering performance really uneven as the device is asked to do a lot more work. Plus you have to write half your code in is, the Go is just a glorified wrapper around the db here spitting out JSON.

This is not the future I want.
Really interesting topic, I read the intro and the end. But the last paragraph seems to underline it: most of the people haven't seen a Psychologist or talked to anyone.

I'm quite convinced that online communication is really Lo-Fi. Though I'm still wondering whether it does more harm than it does good. I can only speak for myself, over the last 10 years I decreased my online life a lot and I recommend others to do the same. (Apart from work, but I mean that's just coding stuff and mostly researching. ;)) Ironically there's a global trend in the last 10 years making "online" cool and most people spend many hours socializing online.

Also – comedians have been truth-tellers since the days of court jesters.
Yeah, given that you don't mean the Pixel. I can't back up my claims since I'm sitting on mobile on vacation, however a quick search I found http://www.omgchrome.com/samsung-axes-chromebook-sales-germa... so the market in Germany is different. I scouraged the laptop market two months ago and it seemed that many shops have really outdated variants or lack the whole scope of laptop types. I could imagine it being tougher now since we have a lot of different formats. I would love some input from store employee on that.
Very brief, indeed. It left me wanting more.

In particular, I would have mentioned the explosion of independent printing shops in the 60's. There’s a great list of counter-culture and political print shops here: http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/BayAreaRadicalShops.html

I would also love to see more on the role of experimental, underground comics in the psychedelic movement. But then comics are not quite as beloved by design historians and critics the way posters are.
Thanks for the feedback! Admittedly, I'm pretty new when it comes to web design and have been sort of making it up as I go along. I ended up with the current layout because it was easy enough to code that I could figure out how to do it. I'm sure I could find some tools to allow hover image previews though - I'll add that to my (very long!) to-do list.

Surely this is worth making exceptions for when the situation demands it? I'm all in favour of eating healthily in general but you're missing out on some amazing experiences if you're sticking to this rule all the time.

Nonsense. I drink a liter of freshly squeezed juice every morning. Mind you, not store bought juice; fresh, organic fruit juiced on the spot. I've done this for several years and in the best health of my life. I balance the juice with a whole foods, plant based diet.

The article doesn't actually cite a reason why fruit juice is bad. They just keep repeating diabetes and obesity are a problem, but neither is caused by sugar consumption. Even diabetes.org doesn't list sugar as a causal factor. It simply is a myth.

Why do you think it's missing it? It has the same persistence as the mosh-client on a deskop. That is, the connection will persist as long as the client process exists. If you are observing anything else, that would justify a bug report on Blink. The one complication is that iOS can sometimes kill background processes at will, which would also kill the mosh-connection. As far as I know, the Blink team is currently working on dealing with this better (issue #59). It shouldn't happen very often, though, and I've certainly had Blink persist in the background for multiple days.
Ask HN: What are the other ‘Musk’ian problems?
Colonising Mars for humanity to survive a possible mass extinction event on Earth, igniting an electric car revolution to accelerate the transition towards clean energy, creating a high throughput brain machine interface are the kind of solutions that would have a positive impact on humanity.

It seems very likely that there are more problems of these kind out there. If we don’t limit our thought process and start using the ‘First Principle’ approach, what are the other ‘Musk’ian problems that we can collectively come up with?

It definitely is the future. You wouldn't load all the JS at once, you split it up on each page. Combine this with devices getting faster and faster plus server side rendering and there's only the upside of instant page changes when using a service worker to load next pages ahead of time on the client. So you would rather not have faster sites then?

Hi, I'm not the OP but I am the creator of NPMaps (many thanks to hownottowrite for submitting this). I would indeed like to get around to Forest Service maps after I finish with the national park units. However, they're lower on my to-do list because I've found Forest Service maps to be much more time-consuming to aggregate. Fewer people are searching for them as well.

So, it will happen eventually! I just can't promise it'll happen until I finish the national parks -- unfortunately, it'll be a while since I work a full-time job and this is just a side project when I have free time.
On one hand, Russia may soon finally have year-round maritime access that can't easily be blocked by other powers. On the other hand, will it still be able to count on its winters to shut out invaders?

I wonder what all of this will portend.
Google has a page about this here:

https://edu.google.com/trust/

People should read that and form their own opinion either way.
I don't have much experience in the field. Are you searching for something like Apache Kafka?

On the web page it states that Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform.

Kafka has four core APIs:

The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream of records to one or more Kafka topics.
The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one or more topics and process the stream of records produced to them.
The Streams API allows an application to act as a stream processor, consuming an input stream from one or more topics and producing an output stream to one or more output topics, effectively transforming the input streams to output streams.
The Connector API allows building and running reusable producers or consumers that connect Kafka topics to existing applications or data systems. For example, a connector to a relational database might capture every change to a table.
> Academia’s mission is to get every academic paper ever written on the internet, available for free

That's absurd. Open access to an ocean of articles without the ability to search through them is meaningless.

While you do allow search in titles, thus providing some ability to locate relevant material, presenting content search as some premium feature in 2017 is ridiculous.

So, some of this is about mode, input. But, a big factor in Chromebook adoption in schools has to do with the ease of enterprise deployment and management. Apple is far behind the curve here, and the amount of work to manage a school/class deployment (esp in the early days) was huge.
I never made a comparison to conventional (ie, non-experimental) treatments. One thing the FDA does do ok is filter out things that cause lots of acute harm.
Exactly. We are only already often blind to that fact, think about how many years have passed since "Snowden" alone..

2013 has been a pretty seminal point in time imho – ubiquitous mobile computing/internet, Google basically buying a DARPA owned Boston Dynamics, etc, etc.

It has only been accelerating since then (artificial wombs anyone?). We are fully living in "hardcore" cyperpunk times already for sure..
I dunno. I guess my kids find it natural to touch things they see on the screen and they expect the screen to work this way. Different generation I guess. I personally like it because the trackpads on cheap chromebooks aren't as sensitive as the screen so some things like scrolling are easier by screen touching.
At my previous place of work, in a fit of post-modern, hipstery redesign, the hotel bar got a back-lit sign stating boldly:"NORMAL IS BORING" (And the reception area also got a life-size black plastic horse-lamp that apparently cost some 4-5000 euros[1]). My initial search turned up:"MINORS LABOURING" as a kind of suitable answer to this challenge. This was quickly spotted by the hotel manager, changed back with an accompanying angry post-it note stating: "Do not mess with the sign". My second attempt was more simple, and effective - changing the sign to read "BORING IS NORMAL". This more simple and true statement stayed up for a week or so before anyone noticed that the sign accurately reflected the corporate culture. It's since been changed back.

Is it possible to configure Linux towards this sort of behavior? I disabled swap, and whenever my memory is exhausted aggressively (think a runaway program writing to /tmp, which is on tmpfs), my system comes to a grinding halt.

How does QNX deal with memory pressure?
I was just thinking if this were more medically focused it would be good for me. I'm supposed to get a medical journal to track certain things until my next dr visit. If I could just open the app and click on an item to log it that would sure beat having to enter a text somewhere.

The sugar content in the fruits we eat today is the result of selective breeding, not GMO. Everything is bred to look delicious and have a high sugar content. Other qualities (such as taste) are sadly secondary. The Golden Delicious apple might be the best example.
Apple stellar sales and profits with the first generation of iPads caused that state of denial from one side. Gaming profit going away from PCs (to consoles and tables) was the other side. Even apple neglected their laptops in favor of the profitable divisions.

Everyone wanted to have one 'App' store to profit as much as Google and Apple. Even Amazon has one nowadays. Steam filled a void.

What Microsoft realized is that they could add good hardware and a store to the Windows experience and get some of that profit.
In general, the information on maps about dirt roads in the US West can be hard to rely on. Some of the information, as you say, is just out of date.

But it's also the case that dirt roads range from well-maintained and graded to you'd better have a jeep and know how to drive it--and the distinction isn't always obvious on a map (digital or otherwise). Road conditions also vary based on season, weather, and how recently there's been maintenance work done.

Someone stated in an earlier discussion that part of the issue is that a lot of this dirt road data is from US Census TIGER data, which was never intended for automotive navigation. [1]

Gold is valued at only $41k per kilo because central banks managed to convince us that we don't need it to back up our currency.

If China really created gold-backed currency then gold price would skyrocket, increasing at lest 6 times (that's how much inflation we had since 1971, when the gold standard was abandoned)
