I wrote a simple Nagios check that can be used to watch for WooFramework updates, and published it here:

https://github.com/kway/check_woo

At this point in time it returns 'UNKNOWN' because the WooThemes changelog file isn't fetchable, but it should return CRIT/WARN/OK once they have their shop back in order.

Sharing it here in case it might help somebody notice critical fixes more expediently in the future.

This graph is just deterministic finite automaton[1] with some fancy rules to make it easier to remember and to draw less arrows. What this proves is that that when you look at natural numbers as a words over {0, 1, ..., 9} alphabet, numbers divisible by 7 form a regular language[2]. This method generalizes to divisiblity by any number, not just 7, though it requires some cunning to come up with a nice way of representing the DFA like in OP's post, without tens or hundreds of arrows.

Another cool thing in this is that existence of such graph implies existence of a regular expression testing divisibility by 7. Indeed, it's easy to check divisibility by 2 or 5 using regular expressions, it's /^.[star](0|2|4|6|8)$/ and /^.[star](0|5)$/, where [star] means star operator (HN markup changes it to italics). It's a bit less clear how to construct similar regular expression for 7, but if follow closely the proof of equivalence between regular languages and languages recognizable by finite state automata, you can reconstruct the regular expression checking the divisibility by 7 from OP's graph.

If aspirin were being considered as a drug today, would it ever pass FDA tests? It does lots of great stuff, but it's also got lots of nasty side effects (I'm not allowed to take it, due to its effect on my Crohn's disease).
I'm not sure how my view of music is naive. As a completely unsuccessful musician hobbyist myself, who's toiled with bands and production, I've never once talked to the crowd after a show and said "what would you like us to sound like?", or "what should the next song we write be about", or "what would it take for you to buy a record of ours". Sure, trends are followed, and people may steer more towards what's popular, but you're not solving people's specific problems through music, so the type of customer oriented problem solving that allows startups to succeed is not really relevant to music.
Great suggestion -- we'll work on our landing page. If you log in with twitter you can post a poll from our app, and we'll track all votes for you. Thanks!
One of us doesn't get it. Maybe I'm not understanding but I don't see how what you describe would be any different than how it is today. If search is all about the most relevant results then the engines would still operate much the same as they do now so money would still create an unfair advantage and reward scammers who would still do everything you described in addition to using the paid features.

Furthermore I don't think there is a way to get data that is any less vague than it is now. Each site is so unique that this solution can't scale and you'd have to settle for analyzing the data yourself. Also, Analytics does have to do with what you described when it comes to seeing what's working as far as SEO goes and yes, AdWords would be more appropriate as an example when talking about competitor and keyword research. For some reason I thought those tools were in GA.

Generally though this really seems like a return to the bad old days except instead of keyword stuffing your meta tags you pay to play. Your whole plan would lead to the end of truly organic results. Yeah, the system a
Ready gets gamed now but at least everyone has am equal shot of gaming it. All you need is the knowledge. The current paid techniques of gaming the system would simply shift from third parties to the search engines themselves. I also feel like what you describe is closer to a paid directory with search functionality than a search engine. I mean, even if it worked like search does today plus those paid features it wouldn't be long before the true search functionality became irrelevant and we'd be left with a directory where whoever paid the most came out on top.

To your credit, I agree that it would be nice to get some more data, better data, and data presented in a more human-friendly/layperson-friendly way but you lose me as soon as you get into a lot of these paid features that help you rank higher.
Does anyone know how to change default search behavior from full-path to filename? I read the help but don't see the option...

"Your partner sees a frail person who has given up. Your kids see a failure. Someone who never reached for and got what they wanted. They not only pity you, but they have contempt for you."

Well, I sure hope that if/when you may face a time where your passion has worn thin that your loved ones may find in themselves some compassion for you rather than pity or contempt. I think this actually is the default in most families than pity or contempt. Otherwise, what would be the point of having them?
"it's purpose is pretty obvious".

I don't think that's true. Clearly a lot of copyrighted material is downloaded from the site but there is a also a lot of material linked to legally. For example they now promote independent artists on their homepage who have content available on the pirate bay. Nine Inch Nails have a huge collection of unedited concert footage available. Open source software and Linux distros are available.

I think the 'linking to content is illegal' thing really needs to be seriously examined. Are they going to block Google next? Where is the line?

(And I'm saying this as someone who pays for content and really only does download legal content from TPB).
This is absurd. The networks (some of which own Hulu) are used to double-charging the consumer: you pay for a subscription, and then you pay by watching ~18 minutes of ads for every hour of TV.

I watch Hulu occasionally, but I never watch TV. This is a stupid move on Hulu's part. Instead of being a service that will aim to move people away from TV and to a new distribution model, they have chosen to remake TV on the internet.

For many reasons, the profits from TV will never be as high as they have been historically. Television now has to compete with free, because try as they might, the TV networks will never stop piracy. But trying to milk more money from paying customers (or those who try to legally watch shows online) will push more users away from their platform.
The question is; Should I, a relatively healthy 31 year old male start taking Aspirin daily?
Maybe you need more blood flowing to your brain in order to understand his question...
As for the internal bleeding "risks", I was wondering what the actual numbers were. This is based on one low dose aspirin a day.

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/545101_3

"These results translate into an absolute rate increase with aspirin above placebo (the incidence of cases of major GI bleeding attributable to low-dose aspirin) of 0.12% per year (95% CI: 0.07–0.19% per year).[20] Based on this value, 833 patients (95% CI: 526–1429 patients) would need to be treated with low-dose aspirin instead of placebo to cause one major GI bleeding episode during a 1-year period (i.e. the NNH is 833)"

Anyone else care to share quantitative risk numbers?
It's sort of more like embarking on a months-long nuclear submarine journey only to discover that nobody packed any food.

In this analogy, you are the company hiring programmers, and the things you need to survive are that your programmers can write basic code, can communicate effectively, and some other things — probably "can design software" or "doesn't rathole excessively" is the next item or two on the list. You're still in a lot of trouble if your submarine doesn't have any food onboard, but the situation is not nearly as bad as if the submarine lacks means for producing air and drinking water.
Fabulous argument for benevolent dictatorships.
I think it is fair to say that we just don't know yet. Neuroscience has learned a great deal about the underlying machinery (neurons, synapses, and so forth), but we have no idea how you put that machinery together to generate something like consciousness. This is, for me, what makes the field interesting, because I think these questions are answerable.

As far as the original article, I think anyone who tries to argue that you are not your brain is ignoring over a hundred years of scientific evidence that suggests otherwise.
Or you end up breaking all installed applications as it is commonly the case.
There's nothing wrong with taxation, so long as it is done for the right reasons and it is not abused. Today, in the US, taxes are levied on just about anything a politician can imagine. Believe it or not, at one point the EPA was pushing a tax on cow farts. I don't know if that passed but it provides a really interesting picture of how your money is being stolen with political creativity. Almost everything the average American touches is taxed in one way or another. People ought to be marching down the street furious about this situation. It is nothing less than surreal.

Yes, taxation is necessary. Or, perhaps I should say: Some means to pay for the basics of government is necessary. That doesn't necessarily mean taxation.

The explosion of government programs has crated a mess that is hard to untangle. If we want to survive as a nation with a decent standard of living we must fix this problem.

Your dollars are being devoted in huge proportions to the support of failed programs, unions, government workers and pensions. Period. It is one thing to want to remain true to an ideology and quite another to be able to pull out paper and pencil and engage in basic arithmetic. This problem does not require calculus in order to understand.

Regarding the HN audience. I am not sure that one can pass opinion based on the few that choose to be vocal and post. My experience is that most online communities are like icebergs: The bulk of the audience is never visible. Be careful about forming opinion based on the 10% that is above water.
The US federal budget is in Trillions. If you can find wastes that range in "hundreds of thousands of wasted dollars, if not millions", they are just a negligible drop in the bucket and it would serve purely to distract from the bigger expenditures.

If you were to really spend time on such an exercise, it would be more useful to find the big items that can be reformed, not the minuscule ones that would take up a lot of mindshare but ultimately change nothing.
In this article, Google was the intermediary. I was pointing out that when they're an ISP, they're ALWAYS an intermediary. As is every other ISP.

https is absolutely not a red herring. If you use an unencrypted wifi, and use http to access your online services, you do not care at all about security.

After the fact, blaming Google for recording open wifi data is absurd.

The point of my post was, if you're concerned about Google accessing the data between a computer and random services on the internet, then you should be REALLY concerned about them being an ISP. Just like you should be concerned about every OTHER ISP. The solution to not having ISPs - or other intermediaries - have access to all of your data is to use an https connection to your web services.

Do you see the acronym "https" show up, at all in the linked article? No. That's absurd. It is THE SOLUTION to people sniffing your emails and passwords.
FWIW I ran

Command-T is faster for sure. But it lacks critical features that Ctrl-P has (no vim -ruby dependency for one).
As I understood it IndieGoGo launched before Kickstarter. I think the luck lands more in the realm of positive press early on - something IndieGoGo didn't get the same amount of. And honestly - that has to do with (IMO) the polish Kickstarter had to it when it launched.

It's unethical because we're all on the hook for the money the government spends. That's the social contract. If you think the war in Iraq was a big waste of money (as I do), then great, lobby against that. But once the decision's made, we're all on the hook for the money and wiggling out is akin to welching on a bet or defaulting on a loan when you have the money to pay.

Funnily enough, most of the people who complain about "wasteful government spending" were the the loudest advocates of the Iraq war and the expanded modern security state. It turns out everything became way more wasteful and tyrannical on a single day in January 2009.
Well put. Not like his other arguments aren t equally self defeating:

1. Brain activity isn't the same as thinking, feeling, or seeing.

2. No one has remotely shown how molecules acquire the qualities of the mind.*

3. It is impossible to construct a theory of the mind based on material objects that somehow became conscious.

4. When the brain lights up, its activity is like a radio lighting up when music is played. It is an obvious fallacy to say that the radio composed the music. What is being viewed is only a physical correlation, not a cause.
Maybe that's why they never got a good answer -- because the question doesn't map onto reality very well?

I don't think linking should be illegal, but en mass linking with the blatant intent for people to exploit linked to resources... perhaps it should be? I don't know.

RE: your point that open space for people to link to shouldn't be illegal, is it ok then to create a CP linking website? Would you be OK with this?

It's interesting how different points of view lead to different conclusions. I actively like choices of color like this, because for me, they make the differences clear.

Personally, I almost inevitably find that other color schemes that designery or arty people describe as "gorgeous" or other similar adjectives are like having my face pushed through mush. I can't find the detail, the contrast.

In short, I can't find the information.

My father was a sign-maker, and he used to love getting contracts from architects. The color schemes were fabulous, and the signs beautifully designed. He would advise against the designs, and then execute them faithfully. The clients were always pleased with the results.

Why did my father love these contracts? Because he knew that in 6 months the owners of the buildings would return to have the signs removed, and new ones installed. Ones that didn't blend beautifully into the background. Ones that were considered by artistes to be garish and unpleasant. In short, ones that could be seen by the people who were looking for the information they contained.

So beware when you choose colors that you think blend nicely, or are attractive, or are lovely in some aesthetic sense. You might be losing the ability to communicate effectively.

I feel for the guy, for if you read between the lines of the latest news about Tumblr and one or two of his recent blog posts, he was obviously ousted by his board. So maybe it was a very difficult post to write.

However, I'm still astounded that this quality of writing could come from a company president.

It's so hard to know where to even start. Google algo changes usually knock you silly, but this one has completely stunned me. I've had hundreds of sites completely destroyed by this. Old sites, new sites, thin sites, thick sites, affiliate sites, brick and morter sites. It's all over the board and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I'm so tired of Google.
> One person with whom I spoke told me that "wearing headphones actually makes me feel anxious a lot of the time, because I'm always worried that someone might ask me a question or say something to me and I'll miss it." This person is right to be concerned.

I, too, would be concerned if the person speaking to me didn't notice the giant set of headphones that I wear every day, and just mumbled something and walked off.
This is what I want to know!

Every argument against copyright infringement assumes there is some evil destitute world on the other side of having it in place.

We have never in the modern age in any modern first world country ever had an extended time WITHOUT copyright to see what would happen. Everyone just assumes every artist, developer, and investor would disappear overnight and everyone would turn to stone as content is freely distributed.

Or maybe we would just go massive kickstarter style (with some kind of contract guarantees unlike the current system) where the funds people have pay people to make the stuff they want, which is then free for everyone to consume since it is free to reproduce.

It is broken to control content at the distribution level when distribution and replication cost nothing. A really, really import thing to consider - the people who consume currently copyrighted material do not have infinite funds to consume. They spend their disposable income on limited selections of copyrighted materials. If they didn't have to pay for them, but knew their funds were needed to see that future works were created, they would not go buy 15 cars over 3 years and have nothing to watch on tv, they would give money to the shows and artists they like.

There MIGHT be a slight recession if that happened though, because without the "need" to pay for the things people want, they might take the time to pay off massive debts they have or get a savings buffer. But they could already do that, they just don't have the self restraint to. And if feeding off the inability of people to manage their own lives effectively is the only way for MAFIAA affiliates to stay in business, perhaps they should fail.

At that, why don't they fail? Of all the industries, film has been subject to upheaval approximately never. For the last century the big 5 have been established and held their power base with an iron grip. Independent film is nothing compared to them, indie games vs publishers is not even close to as bad as that situation. The major movie studios have no competition to theaters besides outside media forces but never to competitive "startups" because they control the market.

Apple's 9.8% Tax Rate: New York Times Ignorance Again
Keep in mind that what matters is total mortality and total morbidity, not risk of cancer.
Unfortunately you've missed the point of why it is unethical, everyone else has to pay more to support your avoidance instead.

If they paid their way then the overall tax rate would be lower for everyone, instead of just for the rich. The irony being they're the ones who need it the least.

So effectively Bill Gates made the decision to make everyone else pay more tax so that he could go and cure Malaria in Africa. Causing babies to die in America instead. His tax avoidance can be indirectly linked to other people's deaths. That wasn't his decision to make and was unethical.

It's stealing but in a weird way. And by people who don't actually need to steal but just do it because they can.
