Which is what the Dude above was referring to.
To do this formally, you need to consider information entropy.
This is all about how you generated your password. 10 characters of totally random mixed case, numbers and punctuation gives about 60 bits of entropy which is strong enough.

HOWEVER, that calculation only works if all 10 characters were generated uniformly and randomly. Humans are terrible at this. Now, maybe your trick for turning words into safe passwords is great, but there is no way to be sure. Sadly, remembering 10 random characters is hard.

Luckily, easy to remember and strong passwords are possible. The system I would recommend is diceware: www.diceware.com
I have zero experience here, except that I'm playing a lot with the web technologies on side projects...

My sense is: not easy. WebGL is fantastic, JavaScript can perform great it you are smart about it, and you can compile anything to ASM.... But none of those techniques are automatically a good fit for a game architecture designed on Windows or Playstation. For things to work well, you have to design for the web technologies from the start, everything from gameplay to assets has to take into account the limits of the web platform.

But, if you do it right, the web is the only place where you can get things like instant boot, continuous deployment, and lots of other goodies.

Good luck getting other countries to "play along". Doing this is tantamount to handicapping your nation's corporate giants, who will no longer be able to compete as effectively against the corporate giants of nations that don't play along.

This line of thinking is how you end up like Europe that today consumes goods and services produced almost entirely by large US tech companies. If you handicap the American tech giants this way, prepare for a world where the only remaining tech giants dominating globally are Chinese, Korean and Japanese (it wouldn't be Europe because Europe has already handicapped its businesses).

I'm honestly amazed that most people that don't realize that your country's businesses are in competition with all the businesses of other countries. A well meaning policy that would be good for your nation pre-globalization will handicap and disadvantage your country's economy now that globalization is the status quo.

Economic nationalism is a prerequisite if you want to live in an economically prosperous nation.

In layman terms, if we built domes and increased the pressure slightly by pumping in more air then we would have increased the amount of air around us and raised the limit on how much air we have to allocate.
Calling it "Google Pik" implies that it's an official Google project, but the page explicitly says it is not. The post title should be changed to remove Google to avoid confusion.
Yes, but the amount of encodings is pretty limited. It's better (imho) to make the encodings free of any viewer or browser. That way, we can more easily handle a large variety of encodings, and different versions of encodings. Anyone could make a new encoder, and create files using them.

You can see it as a "democratization" of encodings.
The funny thing is that dental care in the US is the exact opposite. If you ask $RANDOM_DENTAI_CLINIC what the cost for $RANDOM_PROCEDURE will be, they can quote you a price that will generally be pretty accurate.

I'm told this came about because historically more people had to pay for dental services out of pocket, so dental offices were used to having standard fees that they could just look up.

The documentation suggests that this currently only supports single-currency IRS, and it's also BYO market data.

To my knowledge there isn't anything like a RESTful pricing/valuation service in the market, let alone one with integrated market data, so there might be an opportunity there. Existing services also tend to only have "enterprise" sales/pricing structures, which is a pain if you just want to try something out.

> This reduces the amount of pressure from shareholders to generate large profits

Just to clarify, since this sentence was ambiguous: not-for-profit companies do not have shareholders or owners. So the fact that there is no "pressure from shareholders" is vacuously true, because there are no shareholders.

Not-for-profits typically have donors and boards of directors, who both apply pressure to see the corporation's funds used to realize its mission.
In the mid to late 2000s, this was something that was often repeated.

Do they? Who do they pay? I thought that maybe one of the reasons Google got into the ISP business was to be a peer with the other big networks and not pay any peerage fees.

Competition for talent
Yeah I was very surprised to read this in my current contract (first employer, the Netherlands). It basically says: "as is the default, we own products/code/whatever that is relevant to our business, even if you made it in spare time, but we make the exemption that contributions to pre-existing open source projects can be under an open license, because we are so benevolent and don't want to discourage this".

I asked about it, but without raising a formal complaint, I didn't get more than the general logic, which is "because you also learn from experiences on the job, it's unfair if you can can put stuff together and then sell it or even give it away for free to potential competitors".

I'm still considering whether or not to make a big deal out of it in future contracts; but next month I'm going to do a master's anyway, so it was a temporary limitation (and I accepted with that in mind).
yeah if they lived in the East Bay or further north with access to BART such as Pittsburg or Concord, it would be more affordable. I've had developer coworkers live there talk about the commute. Not fun, but makes the finances better.
The $150 arises from renewing a domain for $9.99 every year for 15 years.

Many people have registered hundreds of domains on the assumption that at some point, someone will want to 'own' them and will be willing to pay for that. When I was VP of Ops & Eng at Blekko I would get an email probably a few times a month from someone or another trying to sell me some domain they were squatting on. This sort of 'investment' is a thing is all I'm saying.

The registrar just gets their annual fee, they don't have to be convinced of anything.
Just want to point out to sibling comments that "The cell towers cannot support the requested bandwidth" was the argument used to prevent companies from making phones with full web browsers.
In this particular case, yp.to has no A record. HN could in theory be smart enough to show the shortest domain suffix that has an A record. Though I don't know if that would actually help any domain other than cr.yp.to.
I'd say macrumors and /r/apple are probably a better representation of the general public than other forms of contact you have with people. Realizing that viruses exist escapes some.

That doesn't really matter, as to the layperson virus often is a general catch-all term for malware.

I know that a later development of this sort of research went into the Deep Space 1 Remote Agent -- an experiment in autonomous spacecraft. A malfunction during a flyby leaves you p. screwed with the usual approach of going into safe mode and waiting for instructions, given the lightspeed delay. IIRC they coded this part of the system in C++; Ron Garrett's Lisp In Space essay gives some of the background.
Is there a catalogue of what it knows? It would be nice to see what is already there.
We used to allow employees to take home any food left over at the end of the day. Worked great for about 4 months. Then the food cost started creeping up, then it nearly exploded. Seems that the late shift discovered that if they simply made a lot of food right before closing they could take it home so it wouldn't be "wasted". You know it has gotten bad when people are starting to argue about who gets to work the closing shift.

Does everyone do this? No. Do enough people do it to force these sorts of rules to be put in place? Yes.
> But that's about as unlikely as the code containing trade secrets.

Unpublished code, is itself a trade secret. Even just the processes, procedures, organisation, tooling, library use, etc in the code provides a competitive advantage. i.e. The 'metadata' is also a trade secret.

The only intent you'd need to prove is that the accused is using the trade secret to the 'economic benefit of anyone other than the owner'.

It seems obvious that Kite is training a proprietary ML algorithm, with trade secrets, for their own economic benefit.
I am working on building the Teaching app for iOS.

It will literally be called "Teaching" and it will be for teachers to collect youtube videos, articles etc. into a flipped classroom curriculum. Also will let them design quizzes to take in class. If the user switches the app to the background, it alerts the teacher to cheating. And so on. An all-in one solution.

Last sentence in your post: would I be right in assuming that the incidence (e.g. cases per 100000 men) of prostrate cancer should be lower in UK than USA because more men in UK die with un-diagnosed prostrate cancer?
I'm not sure why this is downvoted. I'm frankly curious along similar lines myself. I'm going to ramble a few questions I have, skip to my TL;DR for a more concise followup.

I know for a fact that the CPI calculations have been tweaked on multiple occasions, but even beyond that distortion, inflation measures to me always seemed skewed by the fact that they looked globally at such a heterogenous country. For a given person, however, their own labor and capital may not be liquid enough to shift if their local ratio of pay vs. COL isn't up to par; wouldn't that mean a geographic definition of inflation is necessary?

What one should read from the above is that I have a lot of mental dissonance along the lines of the poster; namely that the basket of goods most people consider key to a quality of life IS becoming more expensive in most of the more employment-viable-areas, yet "inflation" as it's stated commonly is flat. If inflation as a metric doesn't denote the trend the OP and I are focused on, what is the proper metric, and from that, why isn't THAT being discussed in TFA?

tl;dr; where is the gap such that common perceptions see inflation in housing and healthcare to be dominating finances, yet "inflation is flat" has become a mantra?
Yes we are looking at this. We will release a more integrated solution for PHP soon + docs.

> If you work at Google __everything you make__, even in your spare time, belongs to them.

Okay, google makes software and if you make software on your spare time maybe it's reasonable that company does not want to leak IP and thus produces these contracts.

But what about these stupid examples:

- Building a backyard deck for your house
- Taking pictures as a hobby
- Doing woodworking (e.g. making a chair and a table for your home office)
- etc..

So with this contract, Goggle owns my deck, desk, chair and a picture of these items, because I produced them on my spare time? Will horde of lawyers will come to my house and take my deck, desk, chair and picture of those items, because I used them while working remotely and bought tools to build them with the salary they payed me?

Even if those examples are completely rubbish and won't stand in court for Google, it's still absurd idea. You get payed salary for your time and work - that's it! That's where Google's power ends. After hours you go home and it's bullshit that they can own your personal work done on your own freetime at your private property with private tools and your own ideas. If they want to own everything then they should pay hourly average times 24hours , times 365 days per year as a salary, because I am giving all my time and work for them, while I am in contract with them.

EDIT: quote from Google's Personal Projects (IARC) [1]:

> Because Google’s business interests are so wide and varied, this likely applies to any personal project you have. That includes new development on personal projects you created prior to employment at Google.

Well that's just messed up.

Kinda funny how a VPN - a perfectly sensible defensive/precautionary strategy for any purpose - automatically equals something nefarious to these schmoes. I use a VPN all the time, including for the most benign activities... I just leave it on all the time. So it's always weird and I never quite seem to get used to it, when some site like Netflix (not that I use Netflix) singles my IP address out. It always takes me a minute to realize, "Oh they think I'm like sup3r 31337 haxxx0r5 because of the VPN." So to protect their security and prove how trustworthy I am, I have to let down my security. Where's the give & take? It's just weird.

By now Windows also has a much stronger security model. So I'd say that the chances of anything happening would theoretically be about equal in Linux, Windows and Mac. But you'd have to take popularity into account, and since the Mac has become more popular, I'd guess they are a victim more often.

Yes, this is still a major problem with WPA. Also the fact that certain control packets aren't authenticated is nearly unforgivable. If correctly designed the only reasonable attack on wifi would be channel jamming, sadly after many years this still is not the case.

Maybe by replicating this scheme, investing in multiple domains, hoping one of them will succeed enough to make up for the added cost.
Of course it is predominantly tools for coders. End user applications have wholly separate paths to the user

Libraries and tools for coders -- what's particular about these? These are the areas where programmers are also the domain experts! So is it any wonder that these are the projects that succeed?

I guarantee openssh, Firefox, LibreOffice, and probably a hundred other applications, are (orders of magnitude) more popular than the top applications on this list.

Let's look at the success of end-user open source applications. Is there a pattern of success being correlated with prevalence of the domain knowledge in the programmer population? There will be other influences, which will bring in corporate resources and skew the degree of success, but I think this pattern holds there as well.

The UK cried and moaned when the NHS was introduced but now (aside from Conservative efforts to "starve the beast" on it) most wouldn't go back for the world (though it could be improved, obviously).

The US has a mentality that it's the best in the world for everything. Even when it's objectively not true (like in healthcare) this colors the debate.

While I support marriage equality I think that was a suboptimal solution. A better, although more complex, option would have been to eliminate civil marriage from the legal code altogether. Currently a civil marriage is a fixed bundle of legal rights, penalties, and responsibilities. But it doesn't have to be that way. Issues like hospital visitation rights could be easily handled through standardized written agreements instead.

Marriage should be strictly a religious or social status with no official government recognition.
