The cpu load can be mitigated with frontend https accelerators or proxies (think nginx as a load balancer doing the https). The real problem is the first connection. Browsers don't fall back to https, if nothing answers on http they'll give an error. If the first connection is over http then a man in the middle attack can succeed.

Currently, it only "searches" the title of the video and the playlist name. If I had transcripts of the videos (they may exist somewhere?) then it could be WAY more relevant.

Some videos show up twice because the same video exists in two different playlists. I'll fix it.
Let it Bleed: SF Pensions will bankrupt city within a decade
Fully 20 percent of all current employees are eligible to retire tomorrow--and 27 percent of cops and firefighters can hang it up now if they choose, according to the DHR. Since a retired worker can cost San Francisco nearly 98 percent as much as a working one, goodbye parties are just the beginning of the city's pending expenses.

So we're already taking away services from people who live here to pay for people who no longer work here.

But that's not the worst of it. There's an even bigger financial apocalypse right behind this one. By 2015, the city's pension contribution will swell to at least half a billion dollars--as a best-case scenario. Meanwhile, the city has a $4 billion unfunded health care liability looming that it hasn't saved any money for.

San Francisco can either bring its benefits into line, substantially raise taxes and fees to maintain the status quo, or severely cut services and employees. Or it can do all of the above.

San Francisco's benefits system is protected by the city charter, and is sustainable. The city, as we know it, isn't.
OK, fine, I guess. I propose the following revised business model for UberCab: Close up shop, return the money to the investors, and go on welfare instead.

Nobody ever got rich without facing problems. UberCab can either fight the system, or they can do something else.

For a site that caters to people interested in startups, there sure are a lot of defeatist comments here...
Tilapia and catfish are good fish to be eating over their carnivorous cousins (food input vs. food output), but the specifics of farm raising have something to do with an individual fish's greenness.

In the end, I hope that we push up production of tilapia here in the US, and I'm excited by programs that blend simple aquaculture with more traditional green growing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qZPwBPAqks (Will Allen is a boss!).
And of course, if you can see the traffic, you can spoof the same User-Agent as well.

Check historio.us, the ssl cert there is a free one (which is, sadly, why subdomains don't validate).

AFAIK this is common to all certs (free or otherwise). You need a separate one for each subdomain (including www).
The reason seems to be to make traffic manageable.

It's similar to the idea of cap-and-trade pollution regulation. Each individual producer profits with pollution, but people believe the environment can only sustain some level, after which we have serious harm to both polluters and non-polluters. This environmental capacity is analogous to SF's (assessment of) traffic capacity.

I don't know why SF doesn't allow trading or transferring the medallion, the way many other cities do.
No, there are also wildcard certificates that match all subdomains, but are rather more expensive.
I don't really have any specific advice, but I want to thank you for creating Solar Feeds. I'm interested in and invest in solar, and your site is one of the best energy sites on the web.
like what options?

Jay-Z promotes ambition, through whatever means necessary.

Lots of things get people killed and/or sent to jail.

Zuckerberg profits off the millions of college students "dumb enough" to waste their precious time "socializing" instead of studying like our society says they should. And don't forget the videos of myspace obsessed children and the like, I'm sure there are people out there who have died of social media related things, it's just not as easily attributed as a cause of death.

Similarly Jay-Z just happened to profit from people "dumb enough" to buy the drugs he sold. It was an opportunity, and he capitalized on it.

You have to work with what you got. It's just the way the world works. I'm pretty sure if you put Zuckerberg in the hood, he'd turn out to be a dealer and give Jay-Z computers in his childhood and he'd probably be a hacker. It's a combination of the ambitious troublemaker personality with the environment that makes what these people have become.

In a sense, you could say Jay hacked the coke game, and was smart(lucky?) enough to get out before he got into too much trouble.

> Expand to the other major chain restaurants and source your pricing from Mechanical Turk (except for the dollar menus of course). I'd take a few precautions to validate the data. For example, you could put up an HIT to get Burger King's entire menu and have 5 people complete it. Compare, lather, and repeat. But I see that as only the first step.

I have an API that does this automatically for you, http://houdinihq.com. I'd be happy to help the OP if there's an interest in doing something like this.
Hi!

It probably should. Could you let me know what you would be expected it to display? I can then figure out its doing wrong.
Interesting, I do have flash block, but disabled it for your site. I still didn't get anything, but perhaps flashblock is still at fault.
Sorry everyone about the problems with load. It should be somewhat more responsive now. It was down to me leaving KeepAlive on in the httpd.conf for Apache.

Turned it off and everything is responsive again.
Functional programming best matches web development because the web page is basically a static container that sends messages back and forth to a farm of servers. The server that gets the message may know nothing about what the web page is doing.

FP fits nicely because in FP you're always "threading the state" -- keeping everything you need around to make the program work. Functions can sit on a server, or on a million servers, and seamlessly process messages from clients. This is easily being done in the OOP-world, but on the FP side it's trivial, whereas with OOP there can be a lot of hoops to jump through.

WebSharper is very cool -- takes F# and makes it run as javascript. So you write one script module, annotating methods as running either on the client, server, or both, and then you just code as if all the methods were in the same spot. It figures out how to write the javascript and how the methods can talk to each other.

I'm also seeing some cool stuff with functional-reactive programming, which, if taken to its logical extreme, could rewrite large parts of the web server stack. In my opinion, because of the architectural nature of the web, in a lot of ways, functional code maps much more closely with web operations than OOP does.

Having said all of that, programming is programming, and if you know what you're doing, you can make things happen. Choice of languages and brands can be vastly overrated. The important part is knowing how to use the tools.
Well, on the progressive side, when they want rent they argue that market prices are "unfairly low" (or high). Creating artificial scarcity is one way to inflate prices to "fair" levels, e.g. "living wages":

>Ward 1 Councilman Jim Graham introduced legislation Tuesday to limit the number of taxicabs in D.C. through either a medallion system, like ones used in New York City and Chicago, or a certification system. [...] A glut of drivers could jeopardize the chances of any cabbies making an adequate living, Graham has said.

As this article points out, Virgin Galactic is already planning on using greener propulsion. I think it is great that someone is trying to eliminate the cause of excessive greenhouse emissions, but I think it is lame to point out an industry that is already on the cusp of alternative propulsion. The best way to ensure they don't continue R&D on alternative propulsion is by keeping those companies busy trying to deflect criticism and help mold related legislation.
The fact that Google isn't doing anything with the money doesn't mean the money isn't being put to use. If the money is in standard banks, it is being used to fund mortgages and credit cards. If it's invested in the market, it is being used by other companies to expand their businesses. If it's invested in municipal bonds, it is allowing cities to develop infrastructure. If it's in various countries' treasury bonds, it is funding those governments directly (since many countries are funding themselves on debt instead of or in addition to raising taxes).
> On most cases the world is grey,

No, the world only _looks_ grey. In a given situation there really is a right thing to do, and wrong thing. The details matter immensely, however, causing white and black to be right next to each other, and intermixed thoroughly. This leaves it very hard to tell what is the right thing to do, leading to moral dithering and apparently grey morality.

I wasn't actually talking about Firebug Lite. I use Chrome Developer Tools (cmd+option+I mac, ctrl+shift+I pc). They are very Firebug-like.
This is kind of a big deal. Not a whole lot of people are aware of this vulnerability and among those who are it's likely only a small subset that knew how to exploit it until now. I suspect all of the coffee shops in the college town where I live will have people using this starting tomorrow.

I've personally been working from cafes and tunneling everything through SSH for years, but in my experience almost no one else does this.
A couple of years ago, I heard a statistic that having a Blackberry is equivalent to smoking two joints because you are always being interrupted, and never really "here". Just think about that for a second.

I didn't need an entire second to go "errrr what?" Since when is that any sort of a 'statistic'?
This looks really nice, great job. I like it and I'm going to try and use it over the next couple weeks, I'll let you know how it goes.
I use and highly recommend Gerrit. http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/ Having a code review-based workflow has shifted my team from never talking with each other and writing silos of bad code to talking with each other every day and actively working to improve things. It's probably the best thing we've ever done.
There may well be (and it appears quite likely is) a conflict of interest here, but there are less obnoxious ways of pointing that out. Like, say, the OP.
Neat idea, especially to a fellow non-IDE using full-time PHP coder such as myself. That said, I tried the first search that came to mind

YouTube HTML5 features "Save As" Option (not what you think...)
As an American, I hadn't even thought about that word's origin. I guess it's no different than saying, "He Jew'ed him down on the price." My wife told the story of a co-worker who was raised in rural America and used "Jew" (the verb form) as a normal part of her vocabulary without ever having considered the inferred stereotypes. Another co-worker who was Jewish politely called her out, and the "Jew-er" at first had trouble even understanding why the term might be disconcerting to others. The rural woman was not an anti-Semite in the same way that I'm not anti-Roma because I occasionally use the word "gypped".

I guess that I should proactively note that I'm not in favor of using the word "Jew" as a verb (or as any other part of speech in such a manner).
If 110V is not feasible, can we try lower voltage? 36V DC is sufficient for laptops with correct adapters.

Also I don't really want to work on laptops in tight space anyway. A 5V USB port is sufficient. All Air Canada flights have this. (Due to RIM I guess?)
I realize that but at least my neighbors won't be able to hijack my session from home. Logging in over a public network always seems risky.
Is there a real risk that someone (besides the government) can see your cookie?

Yes, if you login and your cookie is sniffed and spoofed then basically you just allowed the attacker to login as you at the same time.

Minimizing it is a little bit different: you can use a secure proxy/tunnel, you can limit your unencrypted wireless activity, you can make sure that sites that should be SSL encrypted are (stripping SSL is common when password sniffing) and you can avoid these services while on open wifi networks.
Looks like the score isn't calculating as well as I would have expected. I will tweak my relevance algorithms to fix this.

Thanks for the feedback!
You can slightly reduce the dangers stated here by logging out immediately after you are done doing whatever it is you are doing. This will make the captured session useless.

The best solution is of course to get a VPN acct and use it when you are at free/open wifi spots. I use WiTopia (www.witopia.net)
Best part about that line is the homophone: "I sell water to a whale."
Gosh no, but happy you read the blog!

My point in the blog was that functional code allows you to "collect" bits of things here are there and then create your own toolset of useful stuff to do. This decreases the working set of symbols a programmer must maintain to a much more manageable level, while maximizing productivity.

It's the difference between the phonebook and having a few important people's numbers written on a piece of paper. The phone book is probably more "powerful" but the process of collecting and managing useful data from the phonebook is the important thing, not the phonebook itself.

Instead we study libraries as if they were ends to themselves. This is like trying to memorize the phone book in order to be able to call people. Yet we continue to do it.

Pupils Usually Curious how to Write Research Paper
Research papers are important writing assignments. Many students may be finding the task of writing research papers tedious. This will be due to the fact that they do not know how to write research paper. With knowledge they will be able to execute a well written research paper.

Power is voltage times current. If you supply 12vDC instead of 120vAC (1/10 the voltage), you need to supply 10x the current for the same amount of power.

To supply 10x the current, you need substantially larger wires. Wires are heavy. Airlines don't like heavy, it costs a lot of money over the lifetime of an aircraft to haul non-fare paying weight around.

Another point, 12vDC is not a typical aircraft voltage, so a DC-DC converter would be needed to generate the 12vDC. 12vDC is typically not a native laptop input voltage (19vDC is more typical), so another DC-DC converter would be needed. At that point, an inverter (DC-AC) and normal laptop power supply (AC-DC switcher) makes more sense (efficiencies are similar).

I've personally been working from cafes and tunneling everything through SSH for years

To where? I suspect it's to a server, VPS, or similar, and the connection is unencrypted from there to its endpoint. This being the case, could someone with a server on the same subnet be running a browser remotely (or even just tcpdump) and doing a similar thing with your logins?

(This is just some thinking out loud and I may be totally wrong - correct me ;-))
I think 10 is good, but would be nice if the 'more results' button just loaded more directly into the page, instead of going to a new page. That way you can keep track of things on one page instead of opening up a bunch of tabs for all the listings you're interested in.

I was taking a computer science course back in the late '80s in the UK. The course was a straight-to-masters 4 year undergraduate course. One of the requirements was that you were 'sponsored' by a company to get through the course, and IIRC they actually payed some of the tuition. You also had to present your thesis at the end of the 4 years to the faculty and representatives from the various sponsoring companies, a usually sombre and somewhat dull 2-day affair (6 students each day, of the 12 or so of us in each year).

Early in the final year, some friends and I were talking about the presentation, and relating how dull the previous year's was. Earnest undergrads desperately trying not to screw up, and impress the array of suits before them. During the conversation, we decided that it would be awesome if someone showed up in full evening dress.... and later on in the evening, somewhat worse for the wear, I proclaimed that if someone procured me an evening dress, I would wear it for my presentation.

Fast forward to the night before our presentation, after a less than stellar academic year on my part. A knock on the door just after I get back from a subdued night at the bar. A friend has found something for me to wear - not an evening dress, after all, but a dayglo orange halter top and mini-skirt. I figure, what the hell, as I didn't seem to have much to lose.

Next day, I'm on second. I show up early wearing an unseasonable long winter coat (it's may, and even in the north of England it's too warm for a long winter coat). I get a few odd looks, but I don't think anyone actually realizes that I'm presenting next that day.

First guy on that morning finished his presentation, and now it's my turn to present. I stand up at the back of the room, and take off my coat. The prof at the front who is MCing this shindig is the only one who is looking in my direction, and he said something like 'And now we have Mr. Pe.....'. His jaw dropped. I think it was the only time I ever saw him speechless. But then, he probably didn't see male students dressed in dayglo orange mini-skirts and halter tops every day, either...

I stood up, walked to the front, and gave my presentation as if there was nothing unusual going on. You know, I figured I'd already blown it so hard I couldn't screw it up any more. It was probably one of the easiest presentations I've ever done.

Anyway, a few weeks later I found out I'd passed, and I often wonder how much that last minute costume change worked in my favor... I did hear that the next year, the invitations discretely had 'business attire required' on them...
